You can't allow your name to be put in the record books as a TE, them want to be franchised as a WR. If you tag him as a WR, it will also have HoF implications in the future.

How he lines up and what he does is fairly moot, his role is TE. PT is #2 in receptions, should he be listed as a WR?

I get it and you get it, but I'm guessing Jimmy's agent won't see it that way. Not the first time this has happened, though

My prediction is that he get's tagged and then signed to a bigger deal later. Graham's agent is Sexton, who works at Creative, also the employer of that @$$-hole Condon
