Buffalo seems to think they can win it all this year with no QB, because they have A LOT of money on defense that needs to be re-signed next year and the year after. They aren't putting themselves in great cap position.

Rex ran the Jets into the ground he will do the same in Buffalo. Rex thinks cause he got to 2 AFC Championship games with a great defense and no offense he can do the same in Buffalo. He won't. McCoy they gave up too much for and now gave him an extension and a raise. The WR's are good not great. The o-line sucks and he has no QB. Sanchez wasn't great but he was competent. Buffalo doesn't even have that

Exactly. The league has changed too, game managers don't get you to the Superbowl anymore. It's a QB league and they don't have one.

I just hope Rex ruins the Bills before Tannenbaum ruins us.

Clay to Buffalo is being reported as almost done. Fins will have a week to match, after Suh signing not sure they will

Other TE news, Julius Thomas has agreed to a deal with Jax

If they want to blow us out of the water for Charles F'N Clay, by all means. Make him the highest paid TE in the game when you have absolutely no QB.

When 4pm hits I expect all the Charles Clay rumors/drama to be front and center for the Fins.

Clay is in Buffalo house shopping. Either the greatest ploy ever to get Miami to pay up or he is leaving.

Fins are in touch with Jordan Cameron the TE with the Browns who has suffered 3 concussions in 2 years.

I wouldn't touch Cameron, hope Miami doesn't sign this. Disaster written all over it but he is flying to Miami to visit per reports

It would be too hilarious if MIA signed Jordan Cameron.

Dion Sims
Dion Jordan
Jordan Cameron
Cameron Wake

There's going to be a lot of confusion when yelling for either of the two guys in the middle.

If Buffalo wants to dramatically overpay for Clay, then let them. Do Miami that favor.

Also, why is it allowed for teams to essentially add in poison pills and front loaded contracts? Ii thought we did away with that nonsense?

That's not a poison pill front-loading a deal

I know they are two different things, but I thought the league got rid of both of those types of things?

Choosing to pay a player more outright is not a "poison pill" in any sense of the term.

Remember, right now Clay is only under contract to Miami for 1 year at ~$7M.  So if BUF offered him just 1 year at $9M, that would already be a superior deal (and not a poison pill).  The fact that they are offering him additional years does not change that.

Saints wanted Pouncey and pick #14 this year for Jimmy Graham. Fins said no.

I would have given them Pouncey and a 2nd rounder. Or #14 and a future second round pick. But Pouncey and pick #14 is just too much to give up.


Jordan Cameron is in Miami and the short time Hickey has been in Miami as the GM, only 2 players who have visited with the Fins at their headquarters haven't signed with them. So, odds are Cameron signs. We will see

So instead they got Unger and #31 but gave up a 4th as well.  Its a better deal for them than Pouncey and #46.

They must have been hard up for a center...

Clay and Fins talking turkey right now per NFL Network trying to iron out a deal. Guess Clay doesn't want to go to Buffalo and Cleveland and I guess the Fins weren't impressed with Jordan Cameron's medicals at the end of the day
