The Dolphins had a preference at tight end, and that’s why they used the transition tag on Charles Clay.

But if he gets away, they have a pretty solid Plan B in place.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have identified Browns tight end Jordan Cameron as a priority if Clay signs an offer sheet they don’t want to match. A visit is expected unless Cameron comes up with a deal elsewhere quickly.

While Buffalo could just be doing Miami’s heavy lifting by bringing Clay in for a visit and making an offer sheet the Dolphins could match, it does create an interesting dynamic.

Even though the Dolphins want to keep Clay, Salguero says they won’t overpay him.

After they (eventually) overpay Ndamukong Suh, the idea of any deal being too big seems odd, however.

But Cameron should have a good market of his own, even after the Seahawks made their move for Jimmy Graham today.

Cameron’s concussion history is a concern, but when he’s been well, he’s been extremely productive, making the Pro Bowl in 2013 when he caught 80 passes.

The Dolphins also have Steelers cornerback Brice McCain in town for a visit, setting the stage for a quick deal there.
