Report: Buffalo Bills trade former Alabama DL Marcell Dareus

Marcell Dareus is on the move in the NFL.

It was reported Friday evening that the former Alabama DL was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars from the Buffalo Bills. The terms of the deal were not initially announced, but the move should strengthen an already impressive Jaguars defense.

Dareus has notched 35 sacks over seven seasons with Buffalo. He did record just 5.5 sacks between 2015-2016 after posting a career-high 10 sacks in 2014. Dareus is a two-time Pro Bowler and has received one first-team All-Pro selection.

Adam Schefter shared the report on Twitter:

Dareus will join an already loaded defense in Jacksonville that features former SEC defenders in Dante Fowler (Florida), Malik Jackson (Tennessee), and Abry Jones (Georgia).

Dareus finished his Crimson Tide career with 66 tackls, 11 sacks, and 20 TFL loss
