quote:

"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.




quote:

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.

This just in from a SC exclusive interview:

"J311slx says he thinks Vernon Davis should go frick himself." When asked if Vernon Davis has any redeeming qualities, in a SportsCenter interview Thursday, J311slx remarked "no, none whatsoever, I hate that man more than I have ever imagined possible for ruining my wedding day, and think he should rot in hell for it. frick him, frick his team, frick his coach, and frick Alex Smith for good measure."

When asked by the interviewer if he was mad, J311slx responded only with a breaking bad .gif that said "you're god damned right"

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...

quote:

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.


"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!

Well of course he thinks so. Because he's about to bargaining for his own contract extension wants Jimmy's pumped as high as it can go.

I'd love to pay Jimmy like a WR, but there's this little thing called cap space that there just isn't enough to go around of

If we have to pay Jimmy like a WR then we will have to cut someone to pay for him right? Vernon is lobbying to get himself more money and hurt the saints at the same time. It's win win for him.

He needs more money to dry his tears with.

Please tell me your wedding wasn't on the same day of a Saints playoff game....

I don't know how you could have allowed that to happen.

Vernon Davis makes a very valid point.
I agree with him.

Someone thinks that someone that plays the same position as them deserves more money, so they can then go ask for more money? WOW!
