He wants the money he needs to show up every game and make an impact or settle for much less or what he is actually worth. I would not break the bank for him he has a lot of improving to do. I'm not saying he can't improve in those areas but I can't see it overnight.
Teams try to muscle Graham, this isn't something that's just started happening, they've been doing that to him for a couple years now. That was one of the knocks against him when he and Gronk were competing, he was more athletic with better hands but Gronc was tougher and stronger. There's only a few corners and safetys in the league that can keep Graham clamped down for an entire game. You need someone that's big enough to push him around and yet fast enough to keep up with him when he gets by. And the team also has to have a second big defensive back that can cover Colston.

It doesn't happen often though, he's still got the best receiving numbers of any TE in the league. I think what's been happening this year is the guys around him aren't stepping up when he's bracketed. In some games, we're missing that other option.

Just my opinion.
