Today is crazy... I liked Matthews and the players loved him too. But we needed a cb. Darby had a big drop off in success last season but his rookie season he showed he can play at a high level. He also is signed until 2019 and only costs 800k this season. We weren't gonna resign Matthews so it's good we got something for him. Now our team is way more balanced. Patric Robinson can become the slot where he excelled at. Mills can be our second cb now not our number 1. And this adds room for a 5th wr other than Mack.

Quick reaction is that its quite a lot to give up. I would figure a guy like Darby would be able to get got for a 3rd alone. But I guess given the control and the lack of pressure to move him, the Bills controlled the negotiations. Howie might have got the short end on this one but if Darby is an above average CB then I'll say it's a good move.
