BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – A person familiar with the situation has told The Associated Press that Miami Dolphins tight end Charles Clay has signed a five-year, $38 million contract offer from the Buffalo Bills.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity on Tuesday night because the Bills and Clay have not publicly discussed their negotiations.
The Dolphins have five days to match the offer or lose Clay to Buffalo without compensation. Miami retained the right to match after awarding Clay a transition tag two weeks ago. The move ensured that Clay will make at least $7 million this season.
Clay has been a four-year starter in Miami since being selected in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. He has 161 catches for 1,809 yards and 14 touchdowns in 58 games.
