[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 777397, member: 12283"] Jimmy Graham is overpaid because he was the only proven veteran option at his position in a market where multiple teams, including the Packers, had big holes at TE. I did not and do not like the contract, but that's what's going on. If the FO wanted a viable receiving threat at TE, he was it unless they wanted to role the dice on a guy who would be moving from being a role player to being a starter (Burton). I think they were right to want to address the issue, but they were somewhat painted into a corner. TE is a notoriously slow developing position. It isn't like RB where you can just draft a guy and count on plugging him in right away. So I simultaneously understand why they did it and don't care for the contract at all. However, as long as Graham is good, he won't be anywhere near the worst FA contract handed out this offseason, even if he is overpaid. [/QUOTE]
