This is still weird to me, since he played much better after they moved him. After they got Peppers. Perhaps there just are teams stupid enough to pay more for a guy because he has OUTSIDE listed before Linebacker, but the truths about Clay are:

1) He is not that effective going against LTs all the time
2) He is a good run stopper, but he wears down and can be had by tackles with size and feet.
3) He is much better coming from different positions where he can more easily generate a mismatch
4) He can't do it alone without another pass rushing threat
5) All the above, when addressed, as it was with his move and Peppers, made him a more dangerous and effective player
6) If his value is less at contract time, it could be the loss of his 'O' face, but real personnel guys will know the truth
