That's an interesting contract on Graham's part, but amazingly one-sided for the Bucs. Graham did great stepping in last year, but he's not going to see more than half that contract money. Good job all around for each party here. Graham will make the team and make some money this year, and the Bucs will be able to cut him at any point in the future with no monetary reprecussions.

i read on rotoworld.com Kevin Jones is considering the bucs, i live in NY so i can only read what is put out there, is there any truth to these rumors, anybody here anything down there....i would love to see KJ on this team he is a stud in my eyes and i feel graham was only a product of a good offensive line

CNNSI.COM is also reporting that the bucs are close to signing jones as well...after seeing what happened to our backfield last year...i wouldnt put it pass us to sign jones...depth is key in the nfl...dont get me wrong...bennett,dunn,graham thats alot of talent...but if you could have 4 solid backs at once...why not...caddie isnt probaly goin to play this year...even if he does...it wont be til probaly week 8 or 9 til he even gets a chance at all...but with the talent we have in the backfied..there should be no reason why we need to play caddie...make sure he is 100 percent before he hits the field....go bucs

. I hope he doesn't get injured between now and September.
He probably could have done just as good or better and left that agent out of it. I think we got the better of this contract.
Go Bucs

No signing bonus or guaranteed money huh? That tells me that , long term, Graham isn't so highly thought of by the Bucs' front office, but gave him a deal to make him think he "got his money" and reward him for his more than anticipated contributions last season which I think he deserves.

Some fans called Graham "Mr. August" because he looked good in pre-season games. So did Jerry Goldstein. Most of us didn't realize Graham was absent from the OTA's in past years. Maybe if Earnest had showed up in the past for OTA's from March to June he might have been Mr. September to January.

Somehow I think a third string player should have been working with the rest of his teammates during OTA's . There are sure a lot of other borderline players out there working their butts off with little chance of making the team while Earnest was at the beach.

He'll have to be "Earn it" Graham to see much of that money and rightfully so.

PS: For you recent Buc's fans, Jerry Goldstein was a quarterback drafted (12th round) by the Giants in 1976 and released. He was picked up by the Bucs in the late 70's and looked great in the 4th quarter of a preseason game so the fans got all excited. He started the first game of the season with much fanfare only to fall flat on his face.

So if I understand correctly he'll make 2.5 mil this year in salary with roster bonus. About the same next year. Fair contract all the way around. A good solid R.B. at a affordable price. Deal allows us to keep 3 good runners on the roster, and still afford Jones if we wish. Anybody still doubt Allen?
