Of all the players on the Buffalo Bills, there are few who have taken the same level of heat over the last couple seasons that tight end Charles Clay has dealt with.
The five-year, $38 million contract Clay signed in 2015 is the target of frequent criticism, for a few reasons. First, it was a very large contract at the beginning of the deal; the total value was the fourth-largest for a tight end in 2015, and remains the sixth-largest today. In terms of cap hit, the contract has been a bit more manageable, although Clay is facing the fourth-highest cap hit in the league this season (after ranking 13th in 2015 and eighth last season).
