He might have bad knees, but let's not act like he is Tyler Eifert. I agree though another pass catching TE would be ideal it's not a dire need. Let's see how they do with a QB that will throw it more. in this day and age Clay isn't a true "pass catching TE" as we think of it he's a checkdown panic option for cheap yards, not a terror 10 yards down the field 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with the sentiment, I don't know if I'd go with very good, but he's definitely been improving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I'd prefer a wr. The fact that O'Leary made our best catches this year, I think we are ok there Edited April 1, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Strange how Clay could have a great game, then totally disappear. As much as he costs, and as much as he’s injured.....that contract needs a closer look. What would it cost to move on if he won’t restructure?

I mean at the :42 mark it seems he was being targeted over ten yards with two really good catches and makes people miss in the open field. With a QB that will throw to him he’ll be way better than he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I wouldn't put tight end as a primary need. QB, WR, LB RT, and RG are the urgent needs this team faces in that order I would put Tight End up there but because Clay is still good when healthy and O'Leary is a capable backup (And Logan Thomas a decent 3rd string player) I don't think they have to address TE at the moment.

John from Riverside Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Is there any particular reason we should not just use O'Leary more.....who all he does is seem to make plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with O'Leary and Clay. As someone mentioned up-thread, Clay led the team in receiver yards last year; was 2nd (Woods) in '16 and was 3rd (Sam, Woods) in '15. Would it be nice to get a Gronk-like beast? Sure. But with all the holes that need filling, I'd put that pretty low on the list of priorities.

Clay has been good but he plays injured most of the time and honestly I have been expecting more out of him over the years. It's time we draft that big fast pass catching TE in this year's draft. Buffalo has been missing that go to guy for to long. Pete Metzelars and Jay Remermisa are long missed! I've heard good things about the TE from Penn State. Don't know much about the kid but I really hope we address that need in this years draft. I like Genski (I think that's his name lol)... I'm hoping we can get him in the 2nd or 3rd rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenInLight Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 While I agree that another pass catching TE would be great, it really doesn't matter unless we can find a competent guy to throw him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the chicken and egg problem that we've been on the wrong side of for all these years. I believe that will change come draft day, then we'll have plenty of opportunity to grab weapons.

BuffaloRush Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Much like FB, the TE position really have been devalued in the NFL. Outside of a player like Rob Gronkowski, and maybe Travis Kelce, there aren’t many TE’s putting up big numbers any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Dead Cap is 9 million. Clay already restructured back in 2016 and is one of the reasons his contract has so much guaranteed money (Dead money). Next year (2019) his cap hit is 9 and Dead money is 4.5. IMO, if Clay doesn't have an outstanding year this year he will get cut next year.

John from Riverside Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In my opinion the reason why they have been babying Logan Thomas along is probably for NEXT offseason.....when Clay and his knee become easier to go away from.... We appear to be cultivating TE's from within......and our WR situation is so bad I dont know if we even have the resources this offseason to dedicate a resource to it...... O'Leary catches everything close to him.....then turns it upfield and punishes someone...he is a excellent number 2 TE guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
