Brandon Graham gets $14 Mil guaranteed
Seems like a lot of people thought BG might be on his way out... $26 Mil over 4 years and 14 guaranteed is pretty solid dough!

But but but Chip Kelly is racist!
Graham was the highlight of my freshman year at Michigan lol.
That front 7 is going to be awesome on the Eagles. Hopefully Kendricks and Alonso can stay healthy.
What a moron. In a perfect world, a meteor would strike the First Take studio and kill both Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayliss at the same time. What an incredible pair of idiots
I'm certain that Skip and SAS know a lot of the stuff they babble is brainless BS but they do it anyway because it drums up ratings. I think I would respect them slightly more if I thought they actually believed it, instead they're just morons acting like even deeper morons to make sure someone still cares about the dumb things coming out of their mouths.
I wish I could upvote you more than one time. Both those guys are absolute morons and deserve to be struck down by a meteor.

As an African American, I've asked SA Smith to STFU on behalf of all us. I ask all caucasians to do the same for Skip and maybe we have a better tomorrow.
How these a$$clowns stay on television is a national tragedy. That moderator is cute tho...
To your second point, if the offense can stay on the field a little bit longer, that defensive group should be even better. Once Chip gets his QB, they may be able to sustain drives more often
But, Stephen B. Smith is pretty funny. Almost worth having A. around so that we can enjoy B. once in a while.
But Stephen A. Smith said Chip Kelly was a racist. Shouldn't he have signed someone else?
Doesn't Philly play a 3-4? BG seems like an odd fit there stylistically.
Why? Going into the draft he was projected as an OLB for a 3-4, but was drafted as DE for a 4-3. He wasn't doing well in that system. Now that Chip Kelly has installed the 3-4 and Graham is back to OLB, he's playing very well.
He gets to put his hand in the dirt more often than not, and will get a lot more playing time that Trent Cole will most likely be cut.
I am happy about the "guaranteed" part. I wish all of the agents would get together and decide not to sign any contracts that aren't fully guaranteed.
I'm so happy for Brandon. He was the one star in our program, other than Zoltan, during its darkest period and I am proud to have him represent UM at the next level. I know a couple of years ago people were saying he was about to get cut, well it seems he was not being utilized correctly by the previous Philly staff...keep it going BG!
Does someone want to post a thread for me? Looks like Jabrill Peppers upset some feminists in his Women's Studies class today by holding a door open. Could be a good discussion.

It will not be a good discussion. These things are better not discussed on the blog.

This is a message board intended for public discussion about Michigan Football and its players.
Why would you, member who has been here a whopping four months, be the person to determine what can be posted? I'vw been lurking for longer than that.
He was drafted for a 4-3 defense and proceeded to get injured in his first year while the guy drafted behind him (JPP) became an all-world player for the Giants. Then the Birds switched to a 3-4 and there have been constant rumblings about him not being a "fit", even though the (excellent) Birds 24/7 blog has consistently rated BG among the best Eagles players on their all-22 review.
For all of that, Eagles fans who be a bit (ahem) difficult on their own team have always respected how hard he has worked and how productive he has been given the bad cards he was dealt. The fact that the Birds missed out on McCourty and that the Giants wanted BG made it obvious that it would be better to have a less than perfect fit at OLB than have him go, especially to the GIants. All in all, Eagles fans are quite happy with the deal, which is in large part based on the kind of person BG is
And kept working and smiling. C'Mon, Magnus! Where are you? Prove our point with your avatar!
