Time for Ray Farmer to get on the phone and make something happen. We have the money, we have the picks, make it happen Ray!

I just knew he was going to lose this though, no way the NFL rules in favor of this hybrid positioning that would cause all types of players holding for more money because they feel they are used in multiple positions increases their value.

NFL’s argument
The NFL Management Council will take a broader approach, trying to shift the discussion from a specific “number of plays” dispute to a deeper referendum on league-wide use of the tight end. They will present evidence to show Graham, Vernon Davis, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski and others increasingly split out to create matchup advantages. And, in so doing, these players are still acting as tight ends, not wide receivers. Their positioning according to scheme, they will argue, should not change their designation for tag purposes.
Further, the NFLMC will drive home Graham’s official positional designation since entering the league: Graham played tight end in college, was drafted as a tight end, is listed on the roster and depth chart as a tight end, and was voted to the Pro Bowl as a tight end, etc.
