Report: Charles Clay’s “market” begins at $6 million per season


According to a published report, there’s belief that one of the top free agent tight ends could command at least $6 million per season.
Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports the “market” for Miami’s Charles Clay “starts” at $6 million annually.
The 26-year-old Clay has been a key part of the Dolphins’ passing attack the last two seasons, hauling in a combined 127 passes for 1,364 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Herald‘s report on Clay comes on the heels of the Palm Beach Post‘s Andrew Abramson reporting the Dolphins were expected to retain Clay, but that a price tag of $5 million or more was possible. And the Post‘s report followed a report from Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News, who noted the Bills had their eye on the Dolphins’ pass-catching tight end.
The question now, of course, is where Clay’s market actually settles once free agency begins. Given his age, relative good health and production, he does seem well positioned to come away with a nice deal.
Clay ranks 48th among PFT’s top 100 free agents of 2015.
