I agree. And it also takes some of the leverage away from JG....we have another guy with TE experience on the roster.

I agree he could give us more flexibility as another pass catcher, but if we dropped the name Erik Lorig in a contract discussion with Graham, Jimmy Sexton would laugh Loomis out of the room.

The #19 ranked FB that was moved away from TE doesn't at all take leverage away from the #1 ranked TE.

Hold on. Show them this video of Lorig training in the mountains, and Jimmy will sign before the suggested videos pop up.

There's no easy way out. There's no short cut home!

Why would it? Not that this deal gives any side any kind of leverage, but if anything, it would give Jimmy's agent leverage.

"Hey Mickey, you guys are so desperate for pass catchers, you're signing a below average FB who used to play TE. Let's just sign Jimmy and get this over with."- Jimmy Sexton

Sounds more logical than:

"Hey Jimmy (Sexton), we just signed a below average FB who used to be a TE, so you know he's a pass catcher, which makes Jimmy (Graham) less valuable to us. Our offer for $9.5 mil a year is no longer on the table. Here's a new deal for $9 mil per year."- Loomis

Lorig is an "elite blocker" who helped Tampa Bay's backup runners thrive after top tailback Doug Martin was lost for the season, the report said.
