    I can't see Clay lasting another year in the nfl

    Before this year there were talks about how in Miami he couldn't stay healthy and had to have his knee drained multiple times a game causing him constant discomfort and caused him to miss a lot of time. I counted 3 times last year where Clay got the ball to run and his knee just gave out. One was very very obvious in which he got the ball on the sideline then turned up field and his knee just collapsed. Between Shady, Harvin, and Clay, I truly believe we have to start over again with our playmakers. Mccoy had a nasty leg injury along with his arrest, Harvin always injured and last year just gave up. We need to litterally hit on 3-4 play makers this year. We need a TE with potential just in case this is Clays final year. A better backup behind Karlos if he's going to be our future RB. Along with a better compliment to Watkins. If there is a smaller fast WR, like Tavon or Desean Jackson, id snatch them up. Also I want David Nelson back. He put up the same numbers as Clay and was our most dependable WR on 3rd down. We sorely lack a big body on 3rd downs.

    I have no idea who's in FA and the draft but for me an ideal senerio would be

    Get a backup RB who's elusive (Sproles, Spiller style)
    A small quick WR ( Garson, Tavon)
    A big possession WR (Nelson) Boykin could be this guy even though he's not big, he's dependable on 3rd down
    A backup TE (I'd love Mercedes Lewis, my fav TE)
    A solid RT, unless Mills or Henderson picks it up
    Guard needs to be settled between Groy vs Miller in camp
    DE such as Antonio Smith
    NT like Ngata
    For LBs I don't know. We have 2 MLBs that struggled. We need a starter, move Brown to second ILB, then maybe move Bradham to 3-4 OLB. Then have Hughes on the other side. It's either this or we need 2 LBs.

    This off season has more priorities than last year sadly

    He didn't really get hurt until late in the year.

    He was very underwhelming though. I do think however that Taylor's reluctance to throw over the middle has a part on that. Not excusing Clay in any sense by the way. when you get paid like that you gotta bring it no excuses. But I do think he was under targeted if that makes any sense.

      The thing is its his knee that kept him out of half his snaps. He barely was on the field even though he played every game. His knee is a lingering issue

        To me, he was just another useless and expensive signing...

        We'll see what happens next year, but I expect him to continue to miss games and be a ghost on the field.

          I thought he played really well this year. I think he finally disappeared after he was banged up a bit ... but I have no problem with him at all. More weapons for Tyrod is a good thing ...

            For all the hoopla we went through to outbid Miami and Cleveland to land Clay, he sure hasn't been worth the trouble.

              Do you honestly think there was that much trouble in signing him?

                They shot their wad on offense last season, this year's focus is fixing the defense Wrecks ****ed up.

                  Did he really miss a lot of snaps ?? Honest question. I don't really know.

                    Agreed. Not much trouble when all you need to do is offer the most coin. We just outbid them. Not outmuscle or outwit them at all.

                      He missed the last 3 or 4 games of the season, but otherwise played extensively before being hurt.

                        Yeah I know that. But the thread's poster said he also missed snaps in games he played. I don't remember that.

                          He didn't have a great body of work to begin with. Especially to shell out that kind of cash.

                          He was hurt before the Bills signed him. Then he got hurt again.

                          He showed well early then got hurt again and faded to nothing.

                          The Dolphins look smarter than the Bills at this point.

                            Yeah, they are so smart they had to fire two coaches in one year. They also signed Tannyhill to a big contract extension. Roughly 18 million a year.

                              Get little Gronk. He's little Gronk, but a Gronk. H-back type. Should be there in the middle rounds.
