Once again, Graham is going nowhere. I would have to do some major research, but in the entire history of the non-exclusive tag (almost 30 years) I cannot ever remember a team making a deal with the player and handing over the two 1st rounders. It simply isn't done.

I did it brother and there is no need to search back 30 or so years. I searched long and hard and it has not happened as far as i can find or have heard in NFLSirius.

It is way too steep of a price for any player other than one that would bring you a Super Bowl which normally would be a QB.

The dark horse in this would be Seattle. With 16m in cap space, Miller being their best TE with 2 years left, Rice was released, they could arguable come to the conclusion that adding Jimmy to their roster would put them where they need to be for another run.

Which would be stupid in a year with Clowney possibly in our division, we need the OL help and receiving to surpass that.
