"I think Jimmy Graham is trying to make an informed decision as far as his contract. He believes that he deserves more, and I believe that he deserves more," Davis said when asked during a "SportsCenter" interview Thursday about the franchise-tag grievance that Graham filed. "He's just a wonderful presence. He's a great player. He has a lot of potential to go above and beyond and just go further. He is one of those guys that is a part of that TE position that are changing the game -- Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, [Rob] Gronkowski.

Asked if he feels like tight ends should be paid more like receivers, Davis said, "If you're a guy who's catching a lot of passes and you possess some of the traits that wide receivers have, then yes, I agree. I think that he should get paid like a wide receiver."

He should. I think that's pretty obvious.

Of course he does. And it has nothing to do with his upcoming contract negotiations.
The man is working on his brand alright.

Lets listen to Ol Vern shall we...
"You know what, every decision I make is in the best interest of my brand," Davis told Jay Mohr And my decision is to work out on my own and focus on building my brand."
That 'brand,' involves promoting Fantex, a company that's selling stock in Davis. Fantex paid the 49ers tight end $4 million up front in return for 10 percent of his future earnings from football, endorsements or any other income tied to his NFL career.
"It's all about building your brand," Davis said.
Seems its all about the BRAND.
STFU dude!

Tight end Vernon Davis made a $200,000 decision last week and that decision was to skip out on the 49ers offseason training activities (OTAs).
The reason Davis decided not to show up? He's building his brand.

Its a business people, you can't get mad at the Saints for trying to get by paying Graham as a tight end, they have a cap to meet and every penny counts. I don't blame them, the Saints are the one that scouted him and found that diamond in the rough, Jimmy will get what he deserves and then some when his contract come up.
