The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The holding pattern continues in the Bills' efforts to acquire Clay, who continues to carry the transition tag the Miami Dolphins applied to him. A source close to the situation insisted Monday that, despite the inactivity since Clay's visit to Western New York last week, the Bills' interest in him has not wavered, and they are going to follow through with plans to sign him to an offer sheet. The source put the Bills' chance of landing Clay at "90 percent."

Diehards Line:According to News staffer Vic Carucci, HC Rex Ryan has been the driving force in the Bills' pursuit of Clay. Ryan knows the challenges Clay presented when he was coach of the New York Jets during the multiple times they faced him from 2011 to 2014. Clay has 17 career receptions against the Jets for 169 yards and two touchdowns. So what's taking so long? The Bills apparently are still studying their own cap numbers and those of the Dolphins to put them in the best possible position of making an offer Miami wouldn't match.
