Will the Bills ever sign Charles Clay?

[pafan]

 

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

 

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, he went ahead with filing an insurance claim for his injury. If he was awarded the money - something like $10 million - he couldn't play another snap.

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.

My friend is good buddies with Steve Jordan who was a great TE and Cameron Jordan's dad. Steve Jordan is like a dad to Jordan Cameron too and Jordan Cameron even lived with Cameron Jordan for awhile. They are really close.

Fingers crossed. Damn I have been at the edge of my seat the past 4 days! My dream offseason will be complete if we sign clay and trade for Mathis. If that is the case, this team has no holes. One of the qbs will step up with all those weapons. It is a great day to be a bills fan!

Looks like the Mike Wallace trade just finished off the Bills chances in the Clay-mation Derby.

 

He seems like a good player, but 7 million dollars for a TE like that?! Yeesh.

For Miami to sign him long term, they have to take the transition tag off Clay, making him a UFA. Wonder if Bills swoop in with a huge deal at that point.

do they? I thought they could extend him while under the tag? Or does he need to sign it for that to happen?

I feel like its just semantics.

Pretty sure they can extend him on the tag.

That's not true at all. They can negotiate with him until July 15th. At that time he plays out the year under the transition tag (unless another team makes an offer they refuse to match).

Phins save 3.3 million with Wallace gone. 6.6 million is dead money. Don't know how much was saved trading Ellerbe...

At this point Bills need to make best offer possible.

IF Miami wants Clay make them pay dearly for him.

Besides, it seems Clay wants to be In Miami.

[NewEra]

Totally. Only second to Mario now.

Mario for Skelton? HoF thread

[BuffaloFan68]

I say we sign him Sunday (offer sheet) & then Blalock on Monday (been getting everyone else, so why not).

Seems like Miami has "won" this battle. I'd take a look at Gresham, see if he can be coached up on ball security. We can't go into the season with Fasano and Gragg/Gray.

i agree they should bring in Gresham. He's an upgrade over smith and chandler. Fasano signed with the Titans today. The draft a TE in 2nd or 3rd. Edited March 14, 2015 by YoloinOhio

Just because they have more space today doesmt mean that they will match any and all offers

Agreed. It might not look good right now but nothing is over until a deal is signed. I'm still hopeful it breaks our way. If not, I think Clay was worth the effort.

i think I saw someone post they only had around 36 signed players on the roster. The Bills have 67 or 68. They need to fill out their roster still. Maybe it won't matter but that's a huge difference.

 

Especially considering both Cameron and Clay have been prone to injury.
