Beane Conference Call: Nothing like a Friday night trade during the NFL season to get the Buffalo media and twitter timelines fired up. Brandon Beane held a conference call with the Buffalo media tonight after the trade of Marcell Dereus. He said that Jacksonville reached out to the Bills today and they talked about it and decided it was the best move for the team and Marcell. He had not been actively talking to teams about trading Dareus as the trade deadline approaches. He admitted the contract and cap numbers played a role in the decision to make the deal. He said there was some talks regarding trading Dareus over the summer. Beane said the move to send Dareus home before the preseason game in Baltimore was disappointing but not the breaking point. He also said that he has been much better lately. He admitted that he and Sean McDermott had Dareus flagged coming in because of the off the field issues but he's not a bad person and they wish him the best. If the trade didn't happen they would have definitely discussed if he fit in with the team during the offseason. The team is always looking at ways to improve the roster and will do so up to the trade deadline on Halloween. On Anquan Boldin, Beane said it was expressed to him that if a team closer to his home was interested he would like to play again. Beane added he doesn't expect anything to happen there and he will not release him. He said he hasn't spoken to Boldin and wouldn't totally rule out him returning to Buffalo. He said that he and Sean are getting their guys on the team and moving on from guys that aren't. Depth Chart. Front Office Page.

Dareus To Jacksonville: The Bills have finally gotten rid of the Marcell Dareus contract. Adam Schefter is the first to report that they have traded him to Jacksonville for a 6th round draft pick in the 2018 draft that could move up to a 5th rounder depending on performance. He will be reunited with Doug Marrone. The contract Doug Whaley gave Dareus was almost impossible to get out from under so the deal is more about getting the dollars off the books instead of the compensation. The team still takes a $14.2 Million cap hit next year but will save $2.375M. They also save just under $6M on this year's cap that can be rolled over. After next year they are totally out from under that terrible contract. Dareus showed only brief glimpses of the immense talent he had since coming into the league as the third overall pick. He has had many off the field trangressions including drug suspensions, a hit and run, and many late meetings. Will Marrone and Tom Coughlin be able to get Dareus in line? He definitely did not fit in with the process being sold by Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. It's a process that almost the entire team has bought into. It's all part of the building for the future which he was definitely not part of. Don't let the current success fool you this organization is still more about the long term success than the short term. The only issue is if this will effect the players in the locker room that are trying to win now? I doubt it with how close this team has become.

Poyer, Incognito Questionable: The Bills have designated Jordan Poyer and Richie Incognito as questionable for Sunday's game. Incognito was limited in practice today and said he is confident he will play. Poyer did some stretching but was a non participant. He said he is progressing well from day to day but is unsure if he will be ready to play by Sunday. He wil be a gametime decision. Charles Clay, Ramon Humber, and E.J. Gaines have been ruled out. Clay was back on the field in helmet and pads today as he seems to be getting closer to a return. The Raiders are also banged up in the secondary. Leading tackler S Karl Joseph is doubtful and CBs David Amerson and Gareon Conley have been ruled out. Injury Page.

McDermott Presser: Sean McDermott spoke to the media before the final practice of the week. He opened the presser giving condolences to Logan Thomas for the loss of his daughter. The entire organization is offering their support in this very difficult time for the tight end and his family. Thomas will practice with the team for a second straight day today. The way he and his family has handled this tragedy speaks volumes about who they are and he was so glad to see him with the team from a non football standpoint getting the support of his teammates. E.J. Gaines has been ruled out with his hamstring and Jordan Poyer remains day to day. They will see if he can take the field today. Charles Clay and Ramon Humber have been ruled out again. Richie Incognito will practice on a limited basis today and they will continue to monitor that situation. He's confident Richie is heading in the right direction but it is still too much up in the air to see if he'll play Sunday. Ryan Groy and John Miller have taken reps in his place. On Anquan Boldin he said he's aware of the situation but concentrating on the players that are with the team right now.
