Bills save $54 million in cap space by dumping Marcell Dareus' contract

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- On the surface, the 2018 sixth-round pick the Buffalo Bills received from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade Friday evening might not seem like much compensation for Marcell Dareus, a former No. 3 overall pick and two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle.

But compared to the second-round pick the Houston Texans had to give up in March to get rid of quarterback Brock Osweiler and his inflated contract, the Bills' deal for Dareus is a big win.

Consider the numbers.
