The Bills signed star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to an extension on Thursday worth $100 million over six years, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Dareus also received $60 million in guarantees, per Rapoport.
Kuechly inked a five-year, $62 million pact with the Panthers
Something needs to happen soon or if he has an All-Pro type season he is gone.

Quite honestly, I'd sign Mo and plan for the eventual loss of Richardson before anyone else. We can ride Richardson and his off-field risks on a relatively low $ rookie contract and then franchise him if we wanted to, right? Maybe Mo and Leo should be the key longterm pieces on the DLine?

It shouldn't raise Mo's price now (before the season starts). His body of work to this point is what it is and its not ELITE. Signing him now could save money if he were to put together a really great season, obviously it would increase his leverage to get a larger deal. I go back and forth on the Sheldon thing. Yes, we could keep him on the cheap as long as possible and we should. But if there were a way to know he would get his act together and we could have all 3, man that would be strong for the team.

How does our cap space impact ability to get a long term deal done now. We only have around $1 million cap space ($600K according to over the cap and $1.2 million according to Sportrac). Only way we could extend him now is if it does not accelerate any additional funds to this season. Not sure how these extensions are structured or what the impact might be on the current cap. Could this be a reason to wait until next season when we may have more cap flexibility?

While I'd love to keep all 3 guys longterm I highly doubt that's possible. Especially since all 3 basically play the same position of 3-4 DE, I'm not sure we can give each guy his 2nd contract. Remember, it's that 2nd contract for really good players that turns out to be the most expensive. That's where the $60-80M deals come in and I can't see us giving 3 DEs deals like that. It would constrain the ability to spend in other areas of the team. Let's also remember that the Jets longterm lack of a franchise QB has actually allowed them to spend in other areas. That fact we're not paying $20M per year to one guy like Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson is why we have been able to pony up big dollars in FA, get Revis back, etc.

Welp, Marcel Dareus just got $108M with $60M guaranteed. I wonder if we were waiting on that figure before we made our offer to Mo.

I would trade Mo or Sheldon off for a legit franchise QB in a heartbeat.

LaCanfora reckons on Twitter the Jets and Mo aren't even close. Thinks the Jets will either franchise tag Mo, tag and trade or just let him walk next off season. The deal for Dareus just drove up Mo's price. Thanks Rex.
