not giving Daniel Graham the big contract he wanted. He was a solid player for us and I have no issue with him leaving.. He seemed like a good guy but with limited talent. Something the Pats FO recognized.

Denver has racked up almost 80 points in two games. Where is Graham you might ask? no where, he's been pushed aside by last years draft pick. He currently has 2 receptions for the year. With this continued non play he'll be below his 33 receptions from last year...

We sometimes forget to remember for every bad draft pick, ie Chad Jackson, there is that smart move letting a Veteran walk away and let him get his money else where..

Thank you Bill and Scott for spending our funds wisely!

I for one wish we still had Graham last year and this season. We could use his blocking, but obviously NOT at the Denver money.

too expensive yes, but Tony Scheffler is a beast.

The FO should be praised for letting Chad Jackson go because he does not have the talent to help us, but that is not true for Graham. Graham is a better blcoker than any of the TEs on our roster (and he has just as many receptions). Maybe his salary demands were too high, we will never know. But I can't see praising the FO over his departure.

i still don't understand how Watson learned nothing of blocking from Graham

U missed the point..

They spent the money wisely in different areas.. Ie keeping Moss and bringing in AD..

Deus Irae

Had they spent the money on Graham and he been in the Super Bowl last year, this team would likely have gone 19-0. Had they spent the money on Graham, we wouldn't be getting treated to tight ends like Spach. He signed a 5 year, $30 million dollar contract. It's not as if he got Tom Brady money.

One word, delusional

If you're having delusions, you should see a doctor. They have treatments for that sort of thing.

I would hardly say Graham has been nowhere. He's just playing the same role that he did for us which is being one of the best blocking TEs in the league. I have a hunch he has had plenty do with with alot of those 80 points the Broncos have scored. On top of that, at least he's been able to make it on the field which is something that can't be said for Watson.
