Free agency is a two-way street and so while tight end Charles Clay is shopping his services by visiting the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins have set their sights on a possible replacement by focusing on Cleveland Browns free agent Jordan Cameron.

The team is also moving forward with plans to chase cornerback Brice McCain of the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency.

Expect both players to schedule visits with the Dolphins barring them getting quick deals elsewhere.

Cameron, 26, is interesting because it shows the Dolphins are prepared to move in another direction should Clay get the offer sheet everyone expects in Buffalo.

Cameron is on the comeback trail after missing six games of the 2014 season with recurring concussion issues. Cameron has suffered three concussions the past two seasons. Obviously the Dolphins would have to, well, have Cameron's head examined before offering him a contract.

But when he's healthy Cameron is very productive -- perhaps moreso than Clay. Cameron was a Pro Bowl player in 2013 when he caught 80 passes for 917 yards and seven touchdowns. He is a legitimate 6-5, 255-pound seam threat.

The Seahawks were expected to be major players to sign Cameron because of the player's ties to coach Pete Carroll -- Cameron played for Carroll at USC. But Seattle on Tuesday pieced together a blockbuster trade for former University of Miami tight end Jimmy Graham, so that door closed.

McCain, 28, is a former sixth-round draft pick of the Houston Texans. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, and started nine games when injuries befell the Pittsburgh secondary. McCain six passes defensed, three interceptions and scored a touchdown off one of those picks.

McCain, 5-9 and 190 pounds, would neither be cheap nor expensive. His price tag will be in the $3 million per year range.

Juicy tidbit. I like Cameron a lot IF his head checks out. Better TE than Clay IF healthy.
 
McCain is indeed in Miami, per David Canter

Steelers CB Brice McCain will visit Dolphins Wednesday. Dolphins have competition.
 
Jordan Cameron is good when healthy. Remembered seeing him play in his pro bowl year. Concussion is an issue but why not give him a try
 
If Jordan can just stay healthy that would be huge. I love Clay but a healthy Cameron is and upgrade over Clay to me. That being said concussions are nothing to screw with and that would be a risky signing.
 
Cameron DID come back for the last four weeks of the season.

Again, check the head and see what he is interested in for money.

Brice McCain has eight INTs and 19 starts in 6 NFL seasons - five with Houston, last yr with Pittsburgh.Would compete with J.Taylor if signs
 
Clay is better than Cameron. I watched a lot of Cameron as I enjoyed a lot of FF success with him his breakout year.

He's a very good red zone target but Clay is definitely superior in a lot of intangibles.
