Maybe not an official offer, but I'm sure the agent knows everything the Bills think he needs to know.

 

Absolutely. But without an official offer, Miami has no idea exactly how Buffalo will structure it. It also allows the Bills front office an opportunity to up their offer if Miami is willing and able to match, or if Miami is trying to negotiate a long term deal with Clay it gives the Bills an opportunity to trump it (if they wish). Clay's agent is wisely playing both sides as much as both sides are playing each other.

Yup, this sounds like it to me.

One thing the Bills can do to free up cap space is extend Dareus now...it would look something like this..

 

7 Years, $121 million, $25 million signing bonus; $55 million guaranteed ($30 million paid on first day of league year 2016)

 

Year 1: SB allocation $3.57M and Salary $2 million -- reduces cap hit to $5.57 Million from $8.6 million

Year 2: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $9 million - Cap Hit $17.57 million

Year 3: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 4: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 5: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $11 million-Cap Hit $19.57 million

Year 6: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $12 million--Cap Hit $20.57 million

Year 7: SB allocation $3.57M, Guarantee allocation $5 million, Salary $12 million-Cap Hit $20.57 million

 

He entered the league at 20 so he is only 25 -- 7 years is reasonable...

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.

So the Fins' story is they "lost patience". Actually if the report is true, what they lost was the poker game. JO and Whaley outmaneuvered Tannenbaum and Hickey.
