If they bulk up the 2016 compensation to Clay it will be interesting how that impact the new deals for Dareus, Gilmore, Glenn and Bradham.

I read the article. Not sure the insight is that great. Kinda shallow actually.

Arictle doesn't say anything that wasn't already known. Everybody knew the Bills were waiting to see the Suh deal particulars.

And I still don't see why this guy is so great. I would much rather had kept Chandler at his salary and gotten a better QB to throw to him. It is more of the Whaley shell game. He can't get a better QB so he goes balls to the wall for receiving reaches.

Yup despite never making the Pro Bowl or having more than 759 reception yards in a year.

It is all about potential with Clay.

Tyler Myers had that too.

759 yards is pretty good considering all the underthrown balls to Wallace on the outside.

Yeah, I'm hoping we add him given the lack of options on our bench right now.....but I'm fairly certain we're going to overpay. I think that's the sentiment the Phins are expressing - they'd like to keep him but don't think he's worth even the transition tag number.

Well, obviously the Fins thought Clay was worth the transition tag number or they would not have tagged him

The Fins also didn't think Welker was worth his transition tag number......we know how that played out.

I am probably in the minority here, but I'm all over Clay!! I am totally drinking the Kool-aid!! I think he's Jerry Hughes part 2, in that, he's a guy we have scouted, and have analytic data on him that supports our scouting. Hughes was a guy we stole from Indy for Sheppard. Not that many thought that much about the deal at that time (including me) but we sure do look good now. Was that a lucky deal? Maybe, but I think our scouting & analytics group played in minor to significant role in allowing that trade to happen.

I truly believe Clay is the same "lightning in a bottle" player. Phenomenal athlete, young, multi-dimensional, and probably hasn't even scratched the surface of his prime yet. I could be wrong, but I love Charles Clay, have since college when he steamrolled my ECU Pirates everytime we played him.

I will keep on hitting refresh on my twitter till I see he's ours....

Fair enough. Wasn't known to me anyway.
