Spotrac estimates Graham's market value at 5 years, $77.4M. That equates to $15,486,000 APY. That would make him the 5th highest paid player at his position.
He will be 30 years old, going into his 9th year in the league. A 7 year deal is definitely too long for a guy with those miles on him. A 5 year deal is a stretch. I love his game but if the bidding goes past 4 years at $15M+APY, I pass. Shorter deal with more incentives that could take him to $17M APY is the only way he makes sense.
Even a 5 year deal is most likely to be a 3 year deal with a bunch of fluff on the backend. It'll come down to guaranteed money.
I think Graham would be a perfect addition to this team. A smart, savvy veteran who is still highly productive and would help to address one of the biggest weaknesses on this roster.
If they draft Josh Allen or Quinnen Williams, Graham would be a great fit at Leo.
Yep, he was my first choice as well.
Looks like the money was close to what was predicted.
