Bills Marcell Dareus Gets Record Extension

Rex Ryan will now have his most prized defender for a long period of time. Marcell Dareus has signed a six-year contract extension.

The total value of the deal is to be $108 million, or $18 million a year with $60 million guaranteed. Yes, that would put him in the top tier of defensive lineman contracts, ahead of the six-year, $100 million deal J.J. Watt signed with the Texans last season, and just shy of the six-year, $114 million contract Ndamukong Suh signed with the Dolphins.

The 25-year olds guaranteed money is the most of any non-quarterback has ever been guaranteed on an NFL contract. The Bills core group of defenders are all in their prime, and Rex Ryan should be happy of the product that his predecessors put together.
