Clayton to visit Lions, Seahawks
The Bucs had better move fast if they want to keep receiver Michael Clayton.
According to agent Bill Johnson, Clayton begins his visits today in Detroit and also will meet with the Seattle Seahawks.
"Indeed, he's emerged as a coveted commodity and I'm getting substantive interest from multiple teams,'' Johnson said. "If the Bucs are genuinely interested in keeping Michael, then they'd better put their best foot forward.''
Clayton would perfer to remain in Tampa Bay and might even take a little less to do so. But rest assured if he makes it to Seattle, there's a very good possibility he becomes a Seahawk. There are a few other undisclosed teams who have expressed an interest, including the Vikings.
Clayton has carved out a decent market as a free agent, despite catching just two touchdown passes since his rookie season. The Lions and Seahawks know the parameters of any deal for Clayton includes $10-million guaranteed and an average salary of about $5-million per year.
