When former Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley signed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to a six-year contract extension with $60 million guaranteed in September 2015, he did so with confidence that Dareus had matured after discipline problems late in the 2013 season, a pair of arrests in 2014 and a resulting one-game NFL suspension in 2015.
Since Dareus inked that deal almost two years ago, he was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season for another NFL substance-abuse policy violation and, on Saturday night, was sent home from the Bills' preseason game in Baltimore for an unspecified team rule violation.
