If he signs an offer from the Bills, it's only Buffalo or Miami that he'll play for. Highly likely BUFFALO.

$2.25M cap savings. Obviously Chandler wasn't a fit. But Roman uses multiple TE sets, so they may be in the market for more than just Clay.

Didn't know it worked that way. Thought a few teams could put out an offer. I'm surprised nobody has thrown out something yet though being day 2

It probably at least means they signed him. They're probably making an educated guess on if the Dolphins will match.
Gonna be really tough for the Dolphins to match a front loaded offer sheet for Clay and I'm sure that the Bills will structure it just that way.

Wait, the Oakland Raiders just signed Lee Smith to a 3 year $9 MILLION dollar deal?!?? 
The same Lee Smith with 20 career catches, 144 career receiving yards and 3 career TDS? LOL. Those career numbers is what a competent tight end could put up in 1-2 games. I don't care if he's a "good" blocking TE. He can't catch for **** and is numerous drive killing penalties totally negate his blocking skills. If a garbage TE like Smith can get 3 million a season then I have no problem giving Clay a deal that averages $6-7 mil per.
Front load Clays deal and sign him to a 5/33.5 mil deal with $15 mil guaranteed.

Why even address Smith's passing numbers when obviously he is considered a blocking TE? And clearly the Raiders feel he's a good blocker (which he is). His contract is comparable to Felton's which makes sense.
Can someone explain how Kyle Williams' extension works/how it lowers his cap number?
If it's a one-year, $10 million extension, wouldn't that increase his cap number?
Thanks.
You get way too worked up over things that really don't matter.

Short version : Base salary is converted to signing bonus, which spreads out the cap hit.
Pretty sure he had 4 holding penalties all year. He's one of the best blocking tight ends in the league...

Spiller visiting the Saints. Kinda hope he signs. Not that I'm really worried about him...he is injury prone but if he's in the NFC he won't really matter.
he's had 6 holding penalties in his career, 1 of which was declined. he's also had 6 false start penalties. 6 holding penalties in 4 years doesnt seem like a lot to me, but admittedly i'm not too familiar with penalty statistics.

What is para 5? And what is the cap hit per year? That seems like an important detail that's not too clear

Worked up ? Just laughing that of all players from the Bills it's Lee Smith who is getting 3 million a season. He's terrible at everything except blocking.
And Takeo yes he is a blocking tight end first and foremost but brought up his receiving numbers because he is so one dimensional. You would want a tight end on your team who is making a lot of money to have more then ~150 career receiving yards.
Smith was a good blocker in 2013 but graded out just slightly above average in 2014. He got tons of penalties the last couple years including one on the sidelines when he wasn't even on the field! So happy he is off the team he was by far the most hated player on the team in my view.

You have to remember this isn't the NHL, where 3 million dollars is a lot (4% of the cap). 3 million in the nfl is only 2% of the NFL cap.

Even if there wasn't a cap it wouldn't matter when it comes to Lee Smith. He's an u disciplined tight end who is an above average blocker and terrible at everything else. He gets a lot of penalties too. Brandon Spikes was only able to get a one year deal for almost the same amount of money. Spikes is an elite run stopper and a linebacker is so much more important then a blocking tight end who couldn't catch a cold let alone a football. Anyway I'm done talking about Lee Smith. Just can't believe anyone could actually defend or try to justify him getting 3 mil a season.
