No offense, but I'd be pissed if I was drafted as a TE, played as a WR for all intents and purposes, and then was paid as a TE.
I'd be pissed if my Pro Bowl TE couldn't block worth a damn and he wanted top 5 WR money because of it.
Also saw this interesting tidbit in this article.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Graham was one of 11 tight ends in the NFL last year who lined up more than 50 percent of the time at those traditional receiver positions. Only three of them were full-time starters. But the other two were Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez (67 percent) and San Diego's Antonio Gates (52 percent) -- which is noteworthy since those two players have always been considered as tight ends for the purposes of determining franchise-tag salaries.

ive brought that up before. and soon, graham will too count in the calculation for future tight end tags. and itll bring the tag number up a lot for TEs.
