Way phins structured suh they will match clay. Granted they will have to completely gut team to resign tannyhill. Cutting Wallace next year will give them 10. But oh well who is next on the list.

Re: Well thought of clay was nice
I posted this in the Clay Looking for a Buffalo Home thread, but Suh's first year cap hit is only $6M.
The Fish are closer to the cap then we are and they already have $7M counted for Clay this year.
We could offer him a base salary of $13M this year rather than a bonus, but the Fish could restructure other deals to find the money to match.
The thought of an easy offer to sign him is out the window.

Re: Well thought of clay was nice
Nope - I Believe you're wrong. Miami has $10m Cap space and we have about $20m, after cutting chandler. We will front load the contract with a 1st year cap hit of around 13-15m - why else would we have cut Chandler for only a 2.2m cap savings? Miami can not afford 13-15m to their cap. I may b wrong, but this is the simple economic deduction. A high year 1 cap hit and maybe a lesser year 2 one will also help us sign the big 3 or 4 next yearLast edited by ct bills fan; 03-11-2015, 06:09 PM.

The issue is how high do either team really want to go for a TE?
TE Thomas just signed for less than $10M per year.Last edited by Guest; 03-11-2015, 06:12 PM.

Signing bonuses are beneficial because they get spread out over 5 years towards the cap, and players get the most money now, not later.
Could simply come down to which team offers the most cash up front.

Re: Well thought of clay was nice
Ndamukong Suh contract may let Miami Dolphins match Charles Clay offers
The long-awaited details of the Ndamukong Suh mega-contract with the Miami Dolphins finally came out Wednesday evening, and they provide some clarity on the Buffalo Bills' pursuit of free agent Dolphins tight end Charles Clay.
According to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun, Suh will receive a $25.5 million signing bonus, as well as the league minimum salary of $985,000 in 2015. Prorating the $25.5 million over the maximum of five years creates a 2015 cap hit for Suh of only $6.085 million (one-fifth of the bonus, $5.1 million, plus base salary). Miami clearly structured the deal to maximize their 2015 cap space as much as possible, with Suh's 2016 salary jumping up to an enormous $23.485 million in 2016.
What this means for Bills fans awaiting the long-reported offer sheet for Clay is that Miami is going to have a much greater capacity to possibly match an offer for Clay than was most likely being anticipated at One Bills Drive. ...
Even though he signed a six-year, $114 million contract, Ndamukong Suh's 2015 cap hit will only be $6.085 million. Will this hurt the Bills' chances of signing tight end Charles Clay?

Clay isn't do or die. I'm fine either way.
