Seriously though, I wonder how many FA would actually get signed if they had offers like the fans want.Unless Graham puts up otherworldly numbers I agree I wouldn't consider him a value signing.  I also don't know what kind of team you could build if all you looked for were value players.  I'm guessing not a very competitive one.Jimmy Graham 2013 86 receptions 1200+ yards, 16 TDsRichard Rodgers 2017 12 rec. 160 yds 1 TDI figure if you can pick and chose the stats that fit your argument why can't everybody else.Truthfully I think the Packers/Rodgers can make any TE into a top 10 or even top 5 TE if they really wanted to.  All they have to do is make the effort.  The thing is with some TEs it would take a lot more effort.  I don't think it would take much effort on the Packers/Rodgers part to make Jimmy Graham into a top 5 TE.  He is making a lot of money and I do not know if he will end up being worth it in the long run so I do understand your concerns.  I have some of the same ones but when it comes right down to it having stars and play makers costs money.  I prefer to wait until it all shakes out than get to concerned over how the roster looks like today.  All this hand ringing over who we coulda/shoulda/woulda got is no more realistic than the concerns over who we did get.</blockquote>
