Someone posted on twitter that the Bills have until 4/24 to present the offer sheet. If true, and they are just waiting for the fish to be forced to sign other guys who will take up cap space as they have several other needs, they must be pretty confident that Clay isn't going to sign there long term.
Sucks for us as impatient fans, but if the Bills are indeed milking the clock to try and work it to their advantage I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Whaley and his team are paid to know how to work the system, so if that's the strategy I'm good. I'd obviously like to know the answer sooner, but I'm ultimately relieved if it is accurate that our side is dictating the timing and not being played by the Dolphins, Clay, or anyone else.
And either way, Whaley has a back-up plan. That's his job and it would be GM malpractice (assuming there is such a thing) for him not to have one.

Anyone know if we signed this guy yet? Thanks.

This didn't deserve it's own thread. It's just specuation from someone with less credibility than half of us posters.
Completely agree. I really thought it would be real news when I clicked on it.

https://twitter.com/WGR550/status/576913113766850560Knowledgable source tells me Dolphins have "lost patience" with and "moved on" from Charles Clay. At moment, Fins expect him to be a Bill.

At this point, I would take everything with a grain of salt. This is all gamesmanship now.
-
He should go back to GB if they would still take him (on the cheap).
-
Other than seeing and hearing his name during the small number of Dolphins games I watch each year (i.e., two games against the Bills and an occasional featured game), I don't think I spent even 10 seconds of my life thinking about Charles Clay prior to this offseason. Yet, I've spent the past few days checking every site I know on a routine basis trying to get an update on his status, thought process, etc.
Free agency is a really weird time of year. . .
-
We already did and then pissed him off by not renewing his coaching contract.
Damn, you're right. I'm back on the Clay bandwagon.
Can someone please do a search of the Twitter thing and find something that says he's definitely signing with the Bills?
-
I say we just bring back Pete Metzelaars.

I'm over it

Same here. The Bills have more cap room than the Dolphins and don't have to unload anyone to make it happen. What that tells me is that either (a) he really didn't want to come to Buffalo or (b) while the Bills liked him, they didn't like him enough to want to exceed whatever limit they set for him. Either way, good riddance.

If and when this team does finally make the playoffs, there are going to be some seriously pumped up players on the field. I'm in the camp who doesn't think we should keep Freddie just for sentimental purposes, but it would be really sweet to see him play in his first playoff game. Kyle Williams hasn't been there either, nor have Mario, Wood, Dareus and a vast majority of fan favorites.

@AdamSchefter: Saints are giving RB C.J. Spiller a 4-year, $18 million deal that includes $9 million guaranteed, per source. Last year of deal can void.
In terms of annual salary, isn't that what he supposedly turned down from the Bills? Not sure about guarantees, options, etc.

I'm sorry, but if Miami wants to have two high-paid TEs, neither of whom are named "Gronkowski" or "Graham," plus the huge cap numbers for Suh, Wallace, and Tannehil, I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.
-
Reading the tea leaves a bit, Miami is going to be in some trouble cap-wise next year. They've already got $128M committed to 36 players, and that's not counting Jordan Cameron. Now, in order to fit Cameron under this year's cap, his cap number has to be $6M or less (that's without creating room to sign draft picks), which means his cap number next year will be approx. $9M (at least).
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/cap/2016/
That means that they're at $137M for 37 players. Now, they will probably cut Dannell Ellerbe (likely post June 1st designation), which means his dead money will be reduced from $7M down to $3.5Mish, and they can probably restructure Mike Wallace to bring his number down from $13M, but that would kick a very large can into 2017 (cap number would be about $20M and nearly half of it would be bonus money).
So realistically, we're talking about Miami being at $130M+ for 37 players, and still having to address the contracts of Olivier Vernon and Mike Pouncey.
Seeing that $28.5 million cap number for Suh in 2016 is HILARIOUS. I assume that they have a plan to restructure it at some point, but that's probably not something you want hanging out there unresolved.

Wish him all the best. That said, it probably would have been cheaper (and less painful) for them if they had managed their cap better last year and just kept Sproles.

The NFL should just cancel the the season and go with a year-round FA period. This past week has been way more entertaining than 99% of the games last year!
-
Not saying that wasn't a terrible draft (Troup alone ensures that is the case), but I don't think we're the only team saying that five years out. I just took a quick look at that draft and sorted by team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_draft) and note that there are a bunch of teams without anyone left from 2010 -- e.g., Indy, Detroit (now that Suh is gone).

DeMarco reminds me of a girl made at her boyfriend for not paying attention to her so she runs to another guy to make him jealous and waiting for him to beg her to come back . With this Dallas-Philly thing.
Might want to avoid the relationship analogies when talking about DeMarco.

Kiko comes in and makes this defense better. Right now we have stayed the same from last year...pre draft of course. The jets and phins both improved their defense greatly...I'd say Miami is slightly behind us right now defensively but not by much and the jets I think have the best defense in the league and could get better should they go defense with that number 6 pick. We could have signed Murray and he could have a similar impact as shady. we will see.
Really? In the entire NFL?

You shouldn't be allowed to start a thread again, ever.
This wins the internet for today.

I'm going to miss his 9th inning heroics. Dude was a heck of a closer!

This story basically encapsulates the offseason so far. Guy runs as fast as he can away from the sinking ship that is the 49ers, but quickly realizes that the Eagles are also approaching train wreck status and goes somewhere else.
-
Couldn't both of those "nuggets" also be characterized as common sense?
-
Isn't he basically a PED suspension waiting to happen?
Not to brag, but called it: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/06/report-laron-landry-suspended-10-games-for-violating-ped-policy/

Aaron Rodgers - QB
J.J. Watt - DE
Marshall Yanda - OG
Luke Kuechly - MLB
Rob Gronkowski - TE
Anything short of that (although I could probably live with Luck instead of Rodgers), and Doug needs to go!

I hope Chip Kelly stays HC of the Eagles for a while. He certainly makes the offseason entertaining.
