Cardinals Sign TE Charles Clay

The Cardinals signed former Bills tight end Charles Clay to a one-year deal worth up to $3.25MM, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. His deal includes a $350K signing bonus. 

Clay was heading into the final year of a five-year, $38MM deal with the Bills before his release earlier this month. The Cardinals did not want to wait around and risk other teams scooping up Clay, so they’ve signed him here in February. Recently, the Cards also signed cornerback Robert Alford and defensive end Brooks Reed after they were released by the Falcons, so a pattern is emerging.

Clay had just 21 catches for 184 yards last season, a massive drop-off from his 56/600 average over the previous five years. He’ll join youngster Ricky Seals-Jones and veteran Jermaine Gresham on the TE depth chart.
