I suspected they would do this. Smart move. The rookie is not panning out, Cole is old, and Graham is showing flashes. I am still not sold on Graham, but he looks like he may be ready, finally, to be the starter.
Why would Graham sign now? He is going to get two games to prove that he is a starter which could make him get a real big pay day in free agency.
Its a gamble, but its the smart move for him financially. We NEED to bring him back because cole is over the hill and we dont have much behind him. He knows that we have other holes to fill but with maclins contract coming up and us needing corner help we may not be able to give him a ton of cash. Howie should offer him a 3 year 15 mill front loaded deal. He would be crazy to turn that down. Win/win for both sides, he gets paid and if we front load it we can basically give him our empty cap dollars this year and keep him for cheap the next 2 years. Maclin is gonna get at least 8 mill a year.He won't sign now. He wants double what they are offering so I can't see it happening. He also seems enamored with testing free agency.
