They’re making it hard,” Dareus said in the locker room after the game, via The Buffalo News. “And it’s just really making me unhappy. I feel like they don’t really want me here.
"We're still waiting. I feel like they don’t want me here as bad as I want to be here, as bad as the fans and my team wants me here. I feel like they’re saying, ‘Whatever. You come a dime a dozen.'”
The Bills and Dareus were hopeful they could negotiate an extension before the start of training camp, but there is still a significant gap.
When asked to name a dollar amount that will keep him in Buffalo, Dareus said, “I’ll just say, ‘Thank you, Suh,'" referencing the record six-year, $114 million deal Suh signed with the Dolphins in free agency. Buffalo's most recent offer was just north of $90 million for six years, the report said.

Dareus mentioned the contract of Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh as the number he had in mind for his new contract. Suh’s contract averages an astronomical $19 million a year.
A $6 million gap would seem to be a pretty large chasm to close at this stage in negotiations. If the two sides can’t find common ground, it seems likely Dareus will be a free agent following this season.
