Bills expected to sign DT Star Lotulelei

...and there's your Dareus replacement. Bills expected to sign Lotulelei to a 5 year contract when free agency opens up tomorrow. Of course, he's a former Panther, but a talented one. He will need to bounce back from a season that he finished outside the top 100 DTs per PFF however. That 5 year contract better be lightly guaranteed, as he's already 28.

Kyle Williams has signed a one year deal to stay with the Bills, so there's your DTs for 2018.

Still need to draft one for depth and a replacement for Williams as he most likely retires after this year

Lotulelei has some talent that's for sure, he hasn't been a great performer but a good win, I'm happy with it as long as we didn't overpay for him

this seems like a good price for him. Is he hurt and I missed that?

What contract did you see? We really overpaid for him and paid him almost twice as much as we should have. That is worrisome but hopefully his familiarity with McDermott pays off

5 years 50 Mil I dont think its such a bad price. Cheaper than Darius probably not as talented but should fit into the locker room dynamic. Also he is here to stop the run so hopefully with a good rotation Washington will get better and then it will open up our ends to get sacks. Lets just hope they dont trade or release Hughes and Shaq.

Not yet, but did release DE Ryan Davis.

So far I haven't heard anything about us considering releasing Hughes or Shaq and hopefully it stays that way

Well it seemed like last year they were trying to move out Shaq and considering they are from Whaley it wouldnt surprise me.
