Clay signs offer sheet from Bills

[xXwarXx]

Damn no wonder he signed it. Basically $24 million guaranteed. $10 million more than we offered. Good for Clay, he earned it.

Pretty much.

March is verbatim. Essentially you are taking the Bills contract and putting a MIA logo on it

Do the Dolphins still have the option to pull the tag and sign Clay to a long term deal? Or was that off the table when the offer sheet was signed?

Nope match the deal in 5 days or move on

So Clay would be come the 4th highest paid TE in the league....with 2nd most guaranteed money per year just slightly behind Thomas.

Worth noting one last time: The Dolphins are in this predicament because they tried to save $1.2 million this year.

REBUTTAL: The Fins never wanted Clay at even 7 million. They wanted to assess his murky market and see what it was…I am sure they were hoping for a longterm deal with a cap charge of less than 7 million let alone the 8 million franchise tag.

Beasley KEEPS harping on this idea and it so frustrating.

I want to see the year by year money. I want to see if my busy was accurate on the 2015 and 2016 payouts

Yeah, that is just dumb money for a nice, but not elite guy. Let him walk.

The structure is stupid too.

I like Clay…I like him as a player and love the guy. Good for him. But as a Miami Dolphin fan…there is 0% chance they should match that. He's a good player…not an elite player…which is what he's getting paid to be. Buffalo is getting a good player no doubt about it…they are also drastically overpaying

Brother Nick I respect your opinion but we have to move on. I would like to see us pick up some more help for this team for the O line.

I agree after understanding the structure has to be the same. We can't afford 24 mill in 2 years. I think it is essential we get a WR early in the draft now

Wow. The Dolphins aren't going to match that. If they were that nuts for Clay, they would have tagged him and hammered out a long term deal. It will be interesting to see how letting Clay walk for Jordan pans out. It will be a definitive move for the Dolphins FO that will be referenced time and time again, for better or for worse.

Regardless, it is going to suck going against Clay 2x a year.

Forced the Bills to spend that paper if nothing else. Love Charles Clay, but I would rather have him be overpaid somewhere else. Dion Sims is dope and a lot of people wanted him even before we got him. Give the kid a chance or draft Clive.

Poor Clay will have to end up blocking on pass plays with that line.

 

[finomenal]

Good luck in Buffalo, Charles "His momma named him" Clay. I had such high hopes for him here. Can't fault the man for wanting to get paid though.
