Last offseason, the Bills outbid the Dolphins, who applied the transition tag to Charles Clay with a 5 year, $38 million contract of which $24.5 million was guaranteed.
Clay was brought in to give the Bills their first dynamic threat from a tight end in a long time. He failed to deliver putting up only 31 more yards than the much cheaper Scott Chandler ($1.9 million cap hit) did the year before. In fairness, Clay did play in three fewer games than Chandler.
Not all the blame can be put on Clay as he was injured and not targeted as much as he was in Miami.
