Virgil Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 For a TE that had 109 yards this year and 395 last year. Charles Clay, injured or not, is a steal compared to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Dwayne Allen had 16 catches last year on a team that barely runs the ball. It's a bad TE draft and the FA bunch is even worse. TEs are getting PAID. Especially 3 down TEs like he and Clay. Edited March 8, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Fleener is on his way out. No more 2 TE sets from Chud. Those gold glowing locks running so freely down the field....then stone hands happens!! Allen is an upgrade all around. Use him!! And stop drafting small WR's instead of linemen.

You're right, it isn't the sole reason. They make some of the worst decisions a front office can make. If they hadn't scored Luck in the draft they'd be a perennial 3-5 win team. Other than Luck and Hilton they can't draft worth a damn, the Hughes for Sheppard trade, the Trent Richardson debacle, this list goes on. If I were Andrew Luck I'd run for the hills the second I have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cost him the playoffs and his QB a whole lot of pain. If they don't fix the play calling and oline Luck is going to regress. I think they finally came to grips with that though, we will see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The Colts seriously have the worst front office in football But he drafted Andrew Luck!!! Genius.

GunnerBill Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Allen was having a decent year pre-injury in 2014... he was a major disappointment in 2015. That contract looks mad, it is ludicrous. It is supply and demand now with TEs isn't it? A lack of good ones has driven up prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Grigson once again shows why he's the worst GM in football. The Castonzo contract was bad enough--$10M/year for a guy that gets beat like a drum routinely--now this? Paying a guy that has had 46 catches total over the last 3 years $7.5M/year? For context, Charles Clay had 51 catches in 13 games last year...Allen has played 13 games in each of the last two years, in a pass-happy offense, and totaled 45 catches.

billsfan89 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Definitely puts the Clay contract into perspective. At least Clay was a good productive versatile player and he gave the Bills solid production year 1. I think that the tight end market must be that desperate for such a massive overpay.
