Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Pay him a lot. They dont have to match the structure do they? Just the guaranteed money I thought. FYI: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000283274/Charles-Clay-39-yard-touchdown-catch I don't know. I thought they had to match structure too, but I have no idea.
Sherman Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I wonder how we can structure this so that it cannot be matched. Does anyone have any ideas?I think a few years ago Minnesota or Seattle did an offer to a wide receiver and in the offer was something like if you play more than two games in this state in a year you get and additional crazy amount of money. I think it was Nate Burleson.

BillsFanM.D. Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Whole contract must be matched, that's why the NFL abolished "poison pill" language Yep. we got 'shafted' out of Will Wolford years ago due to this type of action. Wasn't illegal at the time....but made it impossible for us due to escalator clauses based on teammates salaries. Colts had 'nobody' and we had our dynasty Bills getting paid big time.
Max997 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Whole contract must be matched, that's why the NFL abolished "poison pill" language That all started when the Colts signed Wilford and made it impossible for Bills to match with some language about always being one of top paid players on offense or something like that
Ittakestime Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Bills are putting so much effort into a mediocre TE.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Carruci just said Clay is visiting Buffalo looking for places to live. I'd say that's a decent sign.
Punch Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 @viccarucci: Charles Clay is visiting Buffalo to look for potential places to live, so he's feeling positive about #Bills' chances of landing him.
3rdand12 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I love this. Thank you El Petulante!! Yes indeed!!
BuffaloFan68 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Charles Clay reminds me of the TE Andre Smith that played in Chicago & Dallas. Smith was a little bigger and a power house blocker that didn't get much opportunity to showcase his receiving skills much. They look & play alike. Edited March 10, 2015 by BuffaloFan68

I think that is the opposite of Clay...he's more of a receiver than blocker...
BackInDaDay Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I think that is the opposite of Clay...he's more of a receiver than blocker... yep - Miami converted him from fullback.. a 255 receiver who can bang would be a nice tool in Roman toolbox edit - but that whole transition thing concerns me Edited March 10, 2015 by BackInDaDay
bkep32 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hope OBD can get this done or at least get him to sign offer sheet and see what fins do
EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Love it. Shady, Watkins, Woods, Clay...
Mopreme Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Whats the deal with Clay? Is he really a 7mil plus TE? I dont recall him blowing up last year or anytime. I read somewhere that he is considered one of the best pass catching tight ends, but thats hard to believe.
Alaska Darin Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I'm curious about this as well. Given the varying state income tax laws it does seem as though certain franchises gain a distinct (and unfair) advantage in recruitment. Why should they? Nothing in the recruitment brochure is really equal. There's weather, cost of living, schools, sponsorship possibilities, etc. The last thing the NFL should do is try and get deeper into a rulebook. They mostly succeed in spite of themselves already.

It is not as much as advantage as some people make it out to be. The game checks are from where the game is played so not every game has state income taxes. Secondly, state income taxes are itemized deductions, so they save money on the fed taxes.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Unless you're in a zero state income tax state, difference may only be a couple percent. I moved from NY to NC, amount of state taxes taken out each week was almost identical. Real estate taxes, now that's a different story.
Fixxxer Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Bills are putting so much effort into a mediocre TE. uh? the guy is clutch and makes plays, did you not watch him with the Dolphins?
