Then I stand corrected. Under the impression his contract was 4 yr 40m.


Cap number is 4 million

That's all that matters

Well then not making a freakish catch 118 yards and 2 TDs is acceptable then.

If he was a $10 million cap hit, it is just unacceptable

Thank you sir, I agree about cap space

2015 11 mil
2016 12 mil
2017 13 mil

Shall save the remark for next year.

Still doesn't matter. Wouldn't have been considered a drop for any receiver in the NFL, regardless of cap hit. It's very simply an unbelievable catch if made and a bad throw caused by a QB hurry otherwise. It was ill timed and way too high. The fact that he got his hands up fast enough for the ball to go through them is because he is the best TE in the game.

No one has tried to get Seahawks or Aqib Talib rough with him. Haden tried to cover him like he covers any ol' wide receiver and Graham ate him for lunch.

Can't guard Graham conventionally. Expect that physical style to become teams only methodology to stopping him.

Not every team has a Chancellor or Talib who can rough up someone the size of Graham

if you rough him up, you have to have the recovery speed to get back into proper coverage.

Also, the way they're calling things now it might be hard to rough him up

It wasn't just roughing him up though. They gave an insane amount of attention to him b/c they didn't respect our other receivers

I know I was strictly referring to roughing up because that's what the person I was replying to was saying could happen more in the future. This year maybe having Cooks and when Stills gets healthy they can't focus all attention on Graham. It would also be nice to run the ball some to keep the LBs and Safetys honest, then maybe we could throw in some play action.

It's not as simple as being physical with him

From what I've seen and heard from players and commentators Jimmy seems like kind of a good player.
I could be wrong so I will look up his stats compared to all the other TE's in the NFL over the last few years.

Will get back to yall when I have the scoop. Hang here till I come back.
