Vernon Davis lobbies for Jimmy Graham to get paid
As 49ers tight end Vernon Davis stays away from offseason workouts not to get a new deal but to focus on building a brand that is now partially owned by the public via the flimsy (in my opinion) Fantex investment forum, Davis is helping Saints tight end Jimmy Graham get a new deal.
Or maybe Davis is only worried about Graham’s brand, too. “He believes that he deserves more, and I believe that he deserves more,” Davis told ESPN regarding Graham, who’s caught in a franchise-tag fight with the Saints. “He’s just a wonderful presence. He’s a great player. He has a lot of potential to go above and beyond and just go further. He is one of those guys that is a part of that TE position that are changing the game — Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, [Rob] Gronkowski. “Those guys are some fantastic players. If it was me, if I was the owner of the team, I would give the kid everything he wants because he’s that.” More specifically, Davis believes Graham should be paid like a receiver, which is the gist of his pending grievance. “If you’re a guy who’s catching a lot of passes and you possess some of the traits that wide receivers have, then yes, I agree,” Davis said. “I think that he should get paid like a wide receiver.” Vernon Davis lobbies for Jimmy Graham to get paid | ProFootballTalk |

Re: Vernon Davis lobbies for Jimmy Graham to get paid
I also agree he should be paid like a WR, but not a top 5 WR, and maybe not even a top 10 WR.
I think 10 million is fair, 11 million is iffy and 12 million is too much. |
