From a cap situation that's what it will cost us to keep him.  The rest of the 12 million we account for whether he is here or not.  Keep Graham and Tonyan sign a blocking TE and draft one to replace Graham after next year if you feel you need 4.   Tonyan isn't going to step in as our #1 and the only ones on the list I see as comparable to Graham are Eifert and Cook and they are likely going to get at least as much as it will cost us to keep Graham.  Cutting Graham and bring one in for 5.3 million would be an option but keeping him and bringing one of them in for the same amount of money is probably not the right thing to do.The Bears and Cards may have 3 FAs but they also have their starters in place so they are not going to be looking for that.  They will be looking for blockers and backups</blockquote>
