KD in CA Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Look at that. No tarps covering seats. How did that franchise ever let Tom Coughlin go? He was getting old. The NFL had passed him by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Arguably, forcing Miami into a position of blowing a third of their salary cap on two TEs and Suh improves the Bills' position in the division more than actually signing Clay themselves does.

BackInDaDay Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 rather have the U kid anyway.. less money, a larger target, and just as dynamic.. the thing is, he's on everyone's radar now - and with reportedly average/poor pool of TEs, another team may reach up to 1st rd to get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) How are the Dolphins using him? They wanted to be able to match any contract offer. Clay is a RFA looking for a big contract. He either signs with another team or takes the 1 yr $7M from Miami. The risk is if Miami removes the tag but then Clay is an UFA. You're right it's not known. Just a lot of speculation they are gaming with the transition tag in mind to force opposing cap hits.

Punch Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's also possible that Miami is merely feigning interest to force the Bills to not call their bluff--- the Ellerbe trade helps, but still counts as a cap hit: Spotrac@spotrac11 mins11 minutes ago Dannell Ellerbe leaves behind $4.2M in dead cap to the #Dolphins, bringing along cap hits of $8.45M, $6.475M, and $6.025M to the #Saints.

Since it was Rapaport that reported it, I think it was likely Clay's agent that is trying to force the Bills to get the offer out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 to finish my point, if I'm Clay I wouldn't sign with the Dolphins. once he does he will be helpless as to which team he might get traded to. at least now he gets to choose. once they signed Cameron I would have been gone He can't "go" anywhere with the tag on him. But if the Bills think he wants out of Miami irregardless they might be inclined to offer less. But offering less makes the possibility of Miami matching that much more likely.
