San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Question for the audience. If Graham isn't signed by the start of training camp, can he attend? We have an audience!?!?!?! When do we get cheerleaders? I'm thinking if it doesn't get done by then that there might be some sort of insurance policy taken out so he can practice… if it looks like the two sides are close.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 We have an audience!?!?!?! When do we get cheerleaders? Actually we've had them for a while, but they're mostly girls who didn't get callbacks for the Jills. So we prefer to keep it under wraps.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Why am I always the last one to find out about these things? Meh, who knows? But check out the private webcam. Hopefully Bertha's finished with her sandwich now.
Green Lightning Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 For a guy everyone thought would be drafted in the fifth round he sure is holding out a long time on this. He didn't look like a world beater against our no name receiver corp in the OTA's. Hey TJ, how about showing something before playing hardball.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 FWIW, as of about 10 days ago, there were still 14 unsigned 3rd rounders… no other round has more than 3 unsigned draftees. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/conflict-continues-between-agents-team-192009786--nfl.html
Green Lightning Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Apparently 3rd rounders appear conflicted and equivocal about contractual arrangements.

Dorkington Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Would like to see this get done so we have full attendance at camp. Don't be stingy, Graham! You're getting millions!
Green Lightning Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 By everyone you mean a talking head i assume Everyone save Buddy apparently!
Juice_32 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Would like to see this get done so we have full attendance at camp. Don't be stingy, Graham! You're getting millions! He's gonna be worth Ko Simpson money!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Everyone save Buddy apparently! And possibly the Jacksonville Jaguars?
1B4IDie Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 It is likely his agent is starting at UDFA money, where he was expected to be drafted, and working his way up to 3rd round money. It may take him awhile to get there.
ganesh Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Question for the audience. If Graham isn't signed by the start of training camp, can he attend? I don't believe he can attend training camp without a contract, as per the CBA. In fact, I believe even the UDFA and Try out players must have a proper contract before training camp.
eball Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 No contract = no training camp. But they've still got three weeks.
Whites Bay Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 He's gonna be worth Ko Simpson money! It has to be the offseason for me to put any effort into this, but just the mention of Ko Simpson made me think of the cavalcade of mediocrity that has washed through this organization from 2001 - 2010. Ko Simpson. What happened to him? Looks like we dumped him for a 7th rounder with the Lions, from whom he's since been cut, and is now a "free agent" (a.k.a "he's out of football"). What did we get for that draft pick? Levi Brown, now with Saskatchewan. What does this have to do with TJ Graham? Not a lot. Let's hope we do better with TJ Graham in the third round than we did with Ko Simpson in the fourth.
Doc Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 For a guy everyone thought would be drafted in the fifth round he sure is holding out a long time on this. He didn't look like a world beater against our no name receiver corp in the OTA's. Hey TJ, how about showing something before playing hardball. Reports I heard were he looked pretty good. Considering he's a rookie and everyone else has been in the league for years and knows the playbook.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 they are holding out so as not to get less than the other guy. It can't be a significant diff but $50K is 50K
truth on hold Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 For a guy everyone thought would be drafted in the fifth round he sure is holding out a long time on this. He didn't look like a world beater against our no name receiver corp in the OTA's. Hey TJ, how about showing something before playing hardball. Shhh .... You're not supposed to say that kind of thing around here. The self appointed football and negotiation expert committee will be in attack mode. Like on me in a previous thread. If you don't want trouble just keep saying its all about the 3rd round and nothing to do with the sides being apart on money.
