ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Less than a year ago, Charles Clay was on track to be a free-agent bust for the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills signed the former Miami Dolphins tight end to a five-year, $38 million deal in 2015, but until last December, Clay's production in the passing game was limited. He ended the 2015 season with 528 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and through the first three months of the 2016 season, he had only 323 yards and no touchdowns.
"Watching him on film [this offseason], he looked like a different guy [in 2016] from when I saw him in Miami," Bills first-year offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said Monday, adding that Clay looked "dynamic" when he played in Miami.
