Bills land Miami tight end Clay

TIGHT END Charles Clay is switching teams in the AFC East.

The Miami Dolphins decided yesterday against matching the contract offer Clay received from Buffalo, so he will join the Bills after signing their 5-year, $38 million deal Tuesday.

The Dolphins had the right to match after giving Clay a transition tag 2 weeks ago, but they decided the price was too high and will go with newcomer Jordan Cameron and holdover Dion Sims at tight end.

Miami faces salary-cap constraints after signing defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a 6-year, $114 million deal.

Even so, the Dolphins signed center J.D. Walton to a 1-year contract yesterday, and hosted visits by two other free agents - quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and receiver Michael Crabtree. Walton started all 16 games for the Giants last year.

Clay started 47 games in 4 years with Miami after being taken in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. He had 58 catches last season for 605 yards and three scores despite knee trouble that hampered him all season.
