Will the Bills ever sign Charles Clay?

[YoloinOhio]

Are the Bills really interested in Cassius Clay jr. Or are they just trying to make Miami cut or trade 1/3 of their starters so they can match their offer sheet? Starting to wonder.

Well grey and gragg are similar players but not at clays level. Also way cheaper. Would have been nice to have clay. Let's trade for Mathis now and sign Gresham

word is Dolphins were trying to trade Wallace to the Eagles for Mathis but I'm sure Chip didn't want to take on that big contract. I'd like to get Mathis but I don't know what we have that they would be interested in

I think Vernon Davis going to be in play at some point- either via trade or if he gets cut.

Well played fishies... well played

 

Eh. I loved the prospects of Clay in this offense but we'll manage.

 

Plus, the Fins are going to have to cut/trade talent without bringing in replacements for the next few offseasons. They won't make progress vs the AFCE.

Take a chance on Gresham

Take a chance on Gresham

Fun Fact: if DeMarco Murray fumbled at the same rate per touch this year as Gresham has for his career he would have fumbled 17 times this season, and would have lost between 9 and 10 of those 17

Yep. I'm not a Gresham fan. He's never live up to his potential and I think bringing him in would be a desperation move.

I'll give Miami credit for wanting to keep a player bad enough that they were willing to jettison a couple key pieces in order to do it. Remains to be seen if that made sense or not. Regardless, next year looks like it's gonna bite them in the cap ass a bit.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Stills deal led to Dolphins ramping up Wallace trade efforts. They want to hold on to Clay -- Lazor's offense tailor for multiple TEs.

[BuffaloBaumer]

So we have no tight ends, guards and QB but this offense will sure be a dynamic one....ugh. Sounds like the Bills were cutting and trading players hoping others would work out and they didn't. Oh well, another crappy year on offense unless they figure out some trades......

 

I bet they were one of the teams asking about Bradford

Tried to get Iupati

Tried to get Bulaga

Tried to get Clay (cut Chandler)

No first round pick but hey, they have Sammy!

[K D]

the move that didn't make sense to me was Chandler being cut. why not hold on to him until they find a replacement?

[Rockinon]

Sal has a nice recap of the Bills moves so far in FA. Puts the Clay maneuvering into perspective. Good read:

I think on paper this is the best offense we've had in years.. decades even

 

edit: well maybe decade is more like it

Because cutting Chandler had nothing to do with Clay and everything to do with him not fitting into Roman's plans. The guy isn't a good enough blocker and not nearly versatile enough to move around the way Roman wants his TEs to move.

 

Chandler was cut to make the necessary room for Easley and Wynn.

Because he is a spread style TE who can't block and can run limited routes and makes too much money.

@PatMoranMix96: Bills may be working on drafting an offer as Vic said, but for a 3rd time, I'm told Clay has been told what the offer will be and it's "big"

[BobbyC81]

I saw Cameron Jordan; not Jordan Cameron

Might not have Harvin yet either...

 

Do any of you guys watch the Fx sitcom "The League"? There was a great episode where they had both Jordan Cameron and Cameron Jordan and they told the character Ruskin to tell them which was which.

Does anyone know if Jermichael Finley still wants to try playing?
