Now with a significantly higher amount of 2015 cap room to work with, can the Bills and Marcell Dareus hammer out a long-term contract extension within a week?
Marcell Dareus is suspended for the season opener, but if things go the way that the Buffalo Bills want them to, he'll also be preparing to sign a massively lucrative contract extension by that point in time, as well.
That according to Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News, who says that Saturday's release of quarterback Matt Cassel - which saves the Bills over $4 million against the 2015 salary cap - could free up enough money to get Dareus under contract, and that they'd like to do so by the time September 13 rolls around.
