WHAT IF? Jimmy Graham gets WR Designatin?

hagan714 · 02-22-2014, 07:14 AM

Question put out the B&G family.

It is reported Graham lined up as a tight end 33% of the time, “in the slot” 45% of the time, and as an outside receiver on 22% of his plays. Based on ESPN Stats

Granted there are a ton of fine hairs to split here especially in the slot. How close to the OT does he line up and on the line vs off the line of scrimmage and on and on and on. So lets say he wins here is the question

What would you do if Jimmy Graham gets the WR Designation from the NFL?

- Tag for wide receiver is projected to be 11.5 to 11.7 million, while the number for tight ends is around 6.7 million

- Contract with $11 million tender based on the average salary of guys like Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson.
