Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
Top to bottom, we've got the best WR corps in the league and best TE corps in the league...
As I've been a Graham fan since I saw him in his first camp, I've been equally disappointed in how he disappeared down the stretch which much of that is due to the torn plantar fascia tendon... My concerns are his agent, their demands, and committing that much quan with the unknown of his recovery from said injury; sucked for him but San Diego strung out Gates till they got the deal they wanted, but Gates prime came and went quick... Worth pointing out while we're bashing Graham for disappearing down the stretch, some of it deserved, let's not forget the man played through a torn plantar fascia... I'm just not happy with Graham's choice of agent and that agent's personality of being Galactus, Destroyer of Salary Caps - I'd be happy if we franchised, non exclusive this season and see how things shake out from there while we draft a TE in this year's draft to keep transitioning... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
Franchise him. Then you can entertain any offers that you get. He is a dynamite player. But we can't afford for another player to take us to the bank.

The only player in my mind worth 15mil+ per annum is in Denver now; and maybe the other kid in New England... |

Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
I hope we keep Jimmy for long term. Not because I find him amazing as a player, but because I got his jersey for my birthday.

Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
lets be honest if we do sign him he will probably become the highest paid TE in football
SO TAG him and save money baby then listen to offers on sign and trades to an AFC team up north some where |
