If this was the Blackhawks, they'd be looking to sign Frank as well.

Good depth signing as long as he's not taking reps from Kmet.

Good move
Likely 3rd string te
Can pass.block and had a pretty good year catching the ball 2-3 years ago

Slots Holtz-Butt-jesper down a slot and likely 1 or 2 are cut

He's just a camp body. As if old man Graham will be doing shit for next three weeks.

I would have preferred Billy the Kid but this is a step in the right direction.

I'm sure this is a camp body and has nothing to do with either Kmet or Graham.

Why is everyone eager to cut Graham? He had a VERY GOOD year and if they were going to cut him it likely would have been June 1st.

James is likely depth for in season. They really don't have a good blocking TE and that's what he is.

Graham was a great red zone weapon and shit everywhere else. He's got zero blocking ability and creates zero separation. I'm fine with him on the roster if used appropriately. Paying him $10 million is a big overpay

Yeah getting paid that much is not a great situation, when we are tight on cap.

I think it is Nagy's responsibility to realize he needs to let Kmet get more snaps between the 20s. If James is a good blocker then that makes real good sense that he could be on the field with Kmet between the 20s.....

Not sure if anyone saw that James deal has 3 void years on it. So we are kicking the can down the road for a 3rd string TE. Not sure that is necessary

Good signing. Gives decent TE depth. Holtz might as well pack his bags. Still like to see depth signing at DB and/or OT
Blocking TE that couldn't figure out who to block. Ya, dump his ass.
