Bills release tight end Charles Clay

‘Expectations that he would become a major red-zone threat never came close to materializing, and the absence of a consistently effective No. 1 tight end contributed to the Bills having one of the worst passing offenses in the league.’

Minus released Charles Clay, here are some of the Bills’ tight end options

‘If Cook is out of the Bills’ price range, there are expected to be plenty of cheaper options. Baltimore’s Maxx Williams is a former second-round draft pick who never reached his potential with the Ravens, but is still young (24) and might need a fresh start. He had 16 catches on 17 targets for 143 yards and a touchdown.’

Charles Clay released by Buffalo Bills after tight end caught just 21 passes in 2018

‘With Clay gone, the Bills have a glaring need at the position as the only player currently under contract on the roster is unproven Jason Croom. Logan Thomas is a restricted free agent, and given his lack of production, he may not be a player the Bills are interested in bringing back.’

Buffalo Bills release tight end Charles Clay

‘Clay signed a five-year deal with the Bills as a free agent in 2015 worth $38 million. He was set to count $9 million against Buffalo’s 2019 cap but the team will now save $4.5 million after releasing the former sixth round pick.’

‘Parting ways with Clay now makes plenty of sense when you look at the tight end prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft. T.J. Hockenson, Noah Fant, Irv Smith Jr., Kaden Smith, Jace Sternberger, Isaac Nauta are just some of the tight ends the Bills could target in the first two days of the draft to replace Clay. Finding a tight end that can grow with Josh Allen should be one of Brandon Beane’s top priorities come April.’

Buffalo Bills cut veteran tight end Charles Clay

‘Clay’s production dropped off considerably last year. In 13 games, the eighth-year player finished with 21 catches for 184 yards and no touchdowns, which were all lows during his four seasons in Buffalo. Overall, Clay had 339 catches for 1,822 yards and nine touchdowns in 54 games with the Bills.’

‘Clay, 30, was scheduled to count $9 million against the Bills’ salary cap in the final season of a five-year, $38 million contract. He finished last season with a career-low 184 receiving yards while averaging a career-low 8.8 yards per catch. Despite playing in 13 games and making 12 starts, his 21 catches were his fewest since 2012.’

‘The Bills now only have Jason Croom and Logan Thomas under contract at the tight end position. Thomas, however, is a restricted free agent.’

‘- After a tumultuous season in 2018 for Charles Clay, his release from the Bills was an imminent one. Had Clay been a bit more productive in 2018, or had the Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott regime signed him, this might have been a bit more surprising.’

‘The veteran tight end never performed up to the five-year, $38 million contract he signed as a free agent in 2015 offseason.’

‘But his production declined slightly in 2017 and then dropped precipitously this past season with a career low 184 yards receiving. The 2018 season marked the first of Clay’s eight-year career without a touchdown reception.’
