If Toon gets more playing time this year than Arrington expect Arrington to be gone next year.

With the increased expectations, player costs, and the ability to source quality free agents... Players are going to have to show up and preform PDQ, we cant afford to let players take years to develop.

Gone will be the days when players are around for 3 years and never break the starting line up but make the 53...

Unless someone is brought in from the outside because we had multiple injuries at one position, we should not be in week 15 and see a player on the field and ask "who in the hell is that?"

Keep in mind... Ingram is about to go through his first NFL camp! He had no rookie camp.

Any time people start to freak out about dudes with contracts that are coming up down the pike, I always remember that right after the lockout we had a ton of free agents up that year, really a lot, and everybody was freaking out -- I mean it looked just impossible, like it was time to pay the piper and the ride was maybe over -- and Loomis found a way to make it work. Except for crazy stuff like the Olin Kreutz experiment, we did pretty darn good that year.

Jimmy Graham present contract
Jimmy Graham Tight End7/28/2010: Signed a four-year, $2.455 million contract. The deal included a $665,140 signing bonus. 2012: $540,000, 2013: $575,000, 2014: Free Agent


My thoughts on what will happen if Jimmy keeps playing to his potential.
In 2014 Brees cap hit will be 18.4 then explodes after that due to expected TV deals, Brees is cap friendly until 2015.

Either Jimmy is offered a new contract next year to squeak the bulk into a salary cap friendly year, or he is franchise tagged in 2014. The FT for 2012 was $5.4 mil.... Next Years TE FT will be around $7.175M

Reports that Rob Gronkowski being the highest paid TE in hostory are wrong... He is 5th of the top 5.
Jason Witten, Dallas: $7.4 million/yr, $18.5 million guaranteed
Vernon Davis, San Francisco: $7.35 million/yr, $23 million guaranteed
Antonio Gates, San Diego: $7.235 million, $20.4 million guaranteed
Jermichael Finley, Green Bay: $7 million, $1 million guaranteed
Rob Gronkowski, New England: $6.9 million, $18 million guaranteed

These 5 are all so close- getting tagged won't be much different from the contract we will offer anyway, unless Graham decides to hire Condon

Other than JG, no way we use the tag on anyone else next year: Bushrod, Ellis are not top 5 players. Maybe Morstead?

Not next year... Tag couldn't be used on Jimmy till 2014. Depending on when the other 4's new contracts come up it could raise the FT a little.
