http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...ns-dolphins-20110728,0,709367.story?track=rss Clay agreed to a four-year deal. Terms of the agreement were not immediately available. It’s likely that the Dolphins other draftees – Mike Pouncey, Daniel Thomas, Edmond Gates, Frank Kearse and Jimmy Wilson – were also closing in on deals by Thursday afternoon, too. That is, if they hadn’t already agreed to terms.
No surprise, he was first to sign. Poor guy has been mowing lawns to make ends meet during the lockout. Probably feels good to get that signing bonus in his pocket.
A lot less than people seem to be projecting upon him. He's likely going to be a lot more of a backfield player than people expect.
I think of him as that move tight end or H-back kind of player. Not a gy you put on the line and expect to seal the corner, but a guy who if used right can operate effectively on the move as a blocker and a guy who can help create mismatch problems for the opposition. He is experienced enough as a receiver that he should give most linebackers some issues. Quick traps, shuffle pass and the like. I see him more like Dallas Clark - in terms of not being on the line as a blocker and out in space although he's not the same player obviously.
