All pro DT trade for a 6th round pick and they eat the guaranteed money over this year and next year. We can restructure his deal tomorrow to fit his role. And to top it off he is like the 6th best player. Our entire defensive production is not solely dependent on him. If he gets back to all pro form (only 27 just entering prime) which seem likely, them the defense is.... I don’t have a word to describe it.

For comparison Sheldon Richardson was traded for a 1st round pick. Last year Dareus played less games and had better numbers than Richardson so there’s that.

I'm not sure you understand the $$ aspect of it...or just didn't explain what you meant right..
The Bills are paying his signing bonus and are saving cap room bc of it.
Also, he has no reason at the moment to restructure. He's pretty well set as ppreviously mentioned in the breakdown 2 posts back. 
That said, I can't pretend to know what he or your gm is thinking so speculation is pointless.
I just think assuming he restructures isn't a given...
Richardson, to me, is totally different. He is a choir boy compared to marcel. He's 1 step closer to being compared to Josh Gordon than SR

Sorry friend. I think you are not understanding the money portion of it. If he stayed on your team he is due a complete 16 mil by your team. By trading him you guys still pay the guaranteed money for this year and we inherited about 6 million on our cap this year. Next season you guys pay the remaining guaranteed money and on our end we pay 10 mil. After that it is practically zero cap hit if we cut him in 2019 maybe 6 mil if we cut him in 2018. After that the contract is just a 3 more 1 year deals. If he’s not performing he’s released no harm. It’s low cost high reward for us. 

All that stuff about y’all don’t have his contract after 2018 is just talk to make it sound like they did something. That is true for us as well. We won’t have to pay him after 2018 either if we choose not too. 

The larger question is why did you guy pay him $100 million and change the defense the same year?

We traded a 6th rounder for a former 2x all pro player who is 27 and the previous team is eating his guaranteed money. That’s a trade I will make every day of the week.
