Warren Zevon Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) 1. He's fast 2. They traded an asset for him in the past so signing him as a UFA should not be a shock 3. Now you're all in Edited April 11, 2018 by garybusey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Fast, can play WR along with being a KR/PR, and his cap hit is $720,000. 5th to 6th WR option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The simple fact is Clay is quite malleable and can be molded into a variety of shapes to fit the team's needs. Some say he's a little soft now, but with time he will firm up nicely into a rock hard player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsam4031 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 so we traded Seymour for him, who now starts in Carolina, cut him he went back to Carolina and then we sign as a free agent.

thebandit27 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 He's the 2018 version of Brandon Tate: a guy that can be a full-time kick returner and play some snaps at WR in the event of injury Next question please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money at that amount is pretty much interchangeable against the cap and Clay might not even make the Top 51, and if he did it would be a difference of MAXIMUM 200k. He's a fast player who can return kicks and play special teams, and there's a good chance he doesn't make the team.

billieve420 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 My only guess is that he was brought back for mainly special team purposes. He is not that fast, I believe he timed in the 4.5 range so maybe they want him for kick or punt return purposes to replace Tate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 ...... because they couldn't throw Thompson a bone. I'll be surprised if Clay is on the roster for more than a couple games let alone all 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direhard Fan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Did you say they are going to mold him into a rock star? What's that all about? Just asking. Maybe I missed something but 4.5 isn't a rock star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Don't know why he was signed initially, but we do have an open position at LG. Maybe he can pack on a couple hundred pounds. He's short, so Baker Mayfield should be able to see over him. Anyone know his arm length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seoulofstone Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Ask most Panthers fans and they have nothing nice to say about his wide receiving skills after he dropped an easy catch in the end zone which turned out to be a real momentum shifter. Of course he was only playing because of numerous injuries and the trading of Kelvin to you guys. However he looked really good on kick returns and made a huge difference in a game against the Jets: He also had a return TD as a raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league with nickel as the base defense 110th puts him just outside the top 96... not something to brag on but some perspective that he’s essentially an above average first guy off the bench based on your numbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Why do you care about who fills out the back end of the roster so much? No guarantee he even makes the 53, and if he does it is as a 5th or 6th WR / Punt and Kick returner. People choose the strangest hills to die on.
