Jaguars Acquire Marcell Dareus From Bills For 2018 6th Rounder
The Buffalo Bills have traded Marcell Dareus to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2018 sixth round pick.
The trade reunites Dareus with Jaguars coach Doug Marrone, who coached the Bills from 2013 to 2014.
Dareus is a two-time Pro Bowler at defensive tackle.
"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," Beane said Friday evening during a conference call.
The Bills will save $5.73 million off their 2017 salary cap and $2.375 million off their 2018 salary cap by trading Dareus.
Bills Give Anquan Boldin Permission To Seek Trade
The Buffalo Bills signed Anquan Boldin in August and he announced his retirement two weeks later. Boldin now wants to return to the NFL, but not player for the Bills.
The Bills have granted permission for Boldin to seek a trade.
“Club grants you limited permission to speak with other NFL teams for the sole purpose of discussing a trade for Anquan,” the Bills wrote in a letter to Boldin’s agent, via Adam Schefter of ESPN. “This letter of permission shall not be construed as a grant to allow the player to make visits, undergo a physical or tryout with other NFL teams at this time. In addition, player and/or his representative shall not be permitted to discuss a new contract for Anquan with another NFL team.”
