[QUOTE="Phazael, post: 787139, member: 13193"] My issue with Graham is not what we paid him, its how we got to him. If you watched the Raider game Monday, you might have noticed they have a tight end who is pretty good named Cook. We dumped that guy for that lump Bennet and now we are at Graham to fill the hole. We had a guy who was producing (and still is on an inferior offense) that Rogers clearly was good with. I felt this way when we dropped Kuhn for Ripfumbleski too, but for different reasons, namely we dumped a guy who could still block and catch (and run) to save a couple bucks. You will notice Jordy's absence this year for the same reason. We could be year three with Cook and Rogers, plus did some give and take over the Jordy issue until we had a real replacement for him. Instead, we are starting guys for the first season here AGAIN in key places, often less talented guys who cost us more money. The process is totally at odds with the supposed reasoning for not taking Mack onto the roster (which I personally would have dealt Clayfaker to Oakland as part of that trade to lessen both cap and draft picks). Either we need to keep consistency or we need to grab the best guy, pick one. Right now, the roster strategy seems to be schizophrenia combined with hoping Rogers can pull miracles out of his butt. Darth Bellicheck might be able to make that work, but not Padlevel McMuffin, especially the way he keeps tossing people under the bus to save his skin. Short version, we paid a good TE a lot of money for a three year deal? Great lets actually KEEP the guy three years for a change, instead of letting people who still have gas in the tank go look productive on other teams because something shiney came along or we wanted to save a tiny amount of cap.
