Graham gets Franchise Tag...

Like I've said before this gets us to next year and I think he knew this was going to happen. We can make up the difference in the cap next year and pay him a great long term contract

Oh well, I'll bet a deal will get done.

If no team wants to give up 2 picks for him, and he plays this season under the franchise tag, I wonder what his agent could do for him then with no other team wanting to "pay the man". Loomis might still get him on the cheap. Funny buisness kind of like Russian roulette.

We would most certainly lose him if that were the case considering Cam Jordan would be a free agent and keeping him would be pretty important. I say let Jimmy go.

I'm with you on this, I have become a big Jordan fan and much rather see Graham go than Jordan.

Drew can make anybody look good on offense... That's what makes a QB elite. We're actually still considering Joe Morgan a viable WR even though he has 10 catches in 3 years. Know why? Drew made him look good.

Because he outran his coverage most of the time and led the league with 40 yard catch average in 2012?!

Don't worry about losing Cam. We won a Super Bowl without him.

Our best defensive player vs. a role player that disappears when DB's get a little physical with him... I'm gonna give the money to the guy that Drew doesn't make look better than he is.

As long as Drew is here Jimmy won't be going anywhere. The two have formed a special bond and Jimmy knows his career will flourish with Drew
chucking balls to him.
