UGH... Pace just needs to stop trying to sign FA TE's....
Bears sign TE Jimmy Graham (2 years, $16 million): O'BRIEN Grade
Wait a second... Jimmy Graham's not retiring? This is absolutely shocking news. I assumed Graham would be forced to hang up the cleats after coming off a miserable season in Green Bay. Apparently, the Bears didn't pay attention to how horribly Graham performed in 2019.
I don't understand this signing. Paying Graham anything more than the minimum would be an overpay, and yet Chicago is willing to give him $8 million per season. Graham is decrepit and can barely move, and he wasn't productive with Aaron Rodgers. If he couldn't do anything with Rodgers, how can he possibly do well with whichever mediocre or horrible quarterback the Bears opt to go with in 2020? This is the type of signing Bill O'Brien would make, so I'm forced to give Chicago an "F" for this move.
