ColoradoBills Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 9 Million in cap hit. He only makes 4 million in cash.
Steve Billieve Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 All part of that contract structuring to screw the phins. Give him all the money up front so they can't match it. 1

So they save 4.5 mill on the cap if they cut him in off season or before season next year. Contract was setup for 2019 to be a likely cut year or restructure year. Edited December 10, 2018 by cba fan
Steve Billieve Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Don't disagree that he's likely to be cut, but 4.5 isn't that much for a TE that can "catch" and block. Lets face facts . . . he's still our best TE . . . and our third best target.
bmur66 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I think we are at the point where we don't cut players unless we have someone better to replace him.

Doc Brown Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 If you cut Clay, who's going to be your punching bag on offense? I guess Zay Jones. Okay, we can cut Clay.

DefenseWins Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 His current stats for this year are: 21 Receptions 184 yards 0 TD's We have to be able to do better for our money... Cut him and sign someone in FA who is healthy and can contribute each week...
Rc2catch Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I’m on the keep him around crowd. Not cause he’s been good or anything. I just see it this way, you keep him as starter/depth and sign/draft other options as well. And as those options step up their game they phase him out of the offense. It’s not like he practices that much so he’s not exactly gonna steal all the reps from a rookie and we have sooooo many holes to fill already why create another? He can still block at a decent level. And lastly his 4.5 million isn’t going to stop or hinder them from signing plenty of free agents

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Maybe we start using him as a defensive back ala Darth Hoodie's brainstorm with Gronk yesterday? He doesn't have to catch the ball...just keep them from catching the ball. ?
hemma Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Poor guy. Barely a Living Wage. We really need to start a GoFundMe page.

We should have won last week and yet another drop this week. After that drop, they never went back to him. Given that, I no longer believe it makes any sense to keep him.
