billsfan1959 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I read that it's a 6-year $114M contract and $60M is guaranteed. My bad. Meant to write 60 million dollars of his contract was guaranteed. My question is: How does that guaranteed money work against the cap, and does it have any real affect on any offer to Clay by the Bills?
Optometric Insight Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Rookie TEs don't do crap in the NFLNot many rookies at any position do, but you have to get TEs from somewhere.

My question is: How does that guaranteed money work against the cap, and does it have any real affect on any offer to Clay by the Bills? At this point, before Suh has officially signed, they are 4.5m under the cap. Once Suh signs, they will take on another 11-12.5m in cap putting them ~8m over the cap. From my understanding anyways. So yes, It does impact them. Letting Clay sign with Buffalo will relieve some of the cap but not all of it. Also, they have draft picks to sign as well so other players with higher salaries will be restructured more than likely.

GG Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 offer ready to be sent... John Wawrow @john_wawrow 1m1 minute ago Link coming: A person familiar with discussions told The AP that #Bills have prepared a contract offer to present to #Dolphins TE Clay. BTW, why has jw been boycotting the site?
TPS Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 BTW, why has jw been boycotting the site? You haven't been around here very long have you...?
GG Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 You haven't been around here very long have you...? Figured he'd have a tougher skin and a high tolerance.
YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 BTW, why has jw been boycotting the site? hes on #claywatch @john_wawrow #Bills jet about to land in Boca Raton at 2:37pm EST
GG Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 hes on #claywatch @john_wawrow #Bills jet about to land in Boca Raton at 2:37pm EST So Pegulas are flying home, what does that have to do with Happy Hour starting at 4?
TPS Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Figured he'd have a tougher skin and a high tolerance. As a poster maybe, but as I recall he was ridiculed by people relating to his work, sources, etc. Why would you waste your time here? I'm sure he reads the Wall, like most media, players, etc, but there really is no benefit for him being a regular participant here.
The Poojer Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 he popped into the stones vs beatles thread, called us all wrong and then went away BTW, why has jw been boycotting the site?
OldTimer1960 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 This is a win win situation. We either get Clay or dolphins way over pay Edit: we either get Clay and way overpay or Dolphins way over pay
John from Riverside Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Edit: we either get Clay and way overpay or Dolphins way over pay I dont consider it way overpaying.......
Deranged Rhino Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Edit: we either get Clay and way overpay or Dolphins way over pay The Bills are set to have $50 million in cap room next off season, with even more the following year. There's no such thing as "overpaying" if you structure the deal correctly. There's plenty of room to "overpay" Clay and still resign our own.
