Texans agree to terms with fourth-round pick Graham

Ain't my money, but that is about $300K more than the "slot" was going for..... And the bonus is double. I guess he has a pretty good agent, or they are really, really, worried about OD coming back strong.

The Texans have agreed to terms with tight end Garrett Graham, the fourth-round pick from Wisconsin.

Graham signed a four-year deal worth $2.59 million. The deal includes an $800,100 signing bonus. Graham will make salaries of $320,000 his first year, $405,000 his second year, $490,000 his third year, and $575,000 in the final year of the contract.

Graham is expected to compete behind tight ends Joel Dreessen and James Casey during training camp. He will likely get plenty of playing time this preseason as Owen Daniels and Anthony Hill recover from injuries.

It's oddities like this that make me wish I could be a fly on the wall during negotiations. The top and bottom floors were set...why did it take so long to get it done?

Hope he turns out good. Looks like we have 6 TE on pre-training camp roster, but only three including Graham are healthy.
