General Manager Brandon Beane addressed the media on Friday night to shed light the team’s decision to trade defensive tackle Marcell Dareus. Here are his top comments on the situation.
On the timing of the trade talks …
A: Jacksonville reached out to us today and we thought about it and talked it through as an organization and decided it was a good move for the Bills and a good move for Marcell [Dareus].
On if the decision was made to impact the team’s long-term planning …
A: Every decision from a roster standpoint you make, Vic, definitely you have to consider what it does to your cap immediately and what it does in future years, so I’d be lying if I didn’t say that was not in the equation.
