This makes for a great set up for Graham to be in the go to position to collect those 1st downs. We have a great weapon in Graham and I am looking for his numbers to go up.

Bevell and Wilson need to start looking his way and actively getting him involved in the end zone. He was coming on finally his first season and then he got injured. Came back from injury and had a good season; only Kelce and Olsen out-yarded him for TE's, but they also had 30ish more targets a piece, a lower yd/catch, and fewer TD's. Argue his salary all you want (if that indeed is everyone's argument), but you can't argue he was very effective last season.

Although he's improved since his arrival and he's done a commendable job coming back from a potential career ending injury, he was a bad fit for our run-first offense that features some very weak bookends.
But we'll see. Graham is just one of many question marks on our offense.

I don't think he has to have an All-Pro season to be resigned. If he stays at the 8-10 mil/ year mark he wouldn't have to be an all-pro. There's 8 or 9 TE's in that price range. I'm not saying we should or shouldn't pay that much but as a TE that's certainly a 'fair' range for him. If he wants us to break the bank and make him the highest paid TE in the NFL, then yeah he would have to have an All-Pro season and that might not even do it for that price. IMO his numbers last year were about what we should have been getting from him. It would be cool for him to get 1,000 yards and 8-10 TDs, but he's not too far off those numbers...
