The Facts:
After missing the team's off-season practices and staying quiet about his status, Graham discussed his contract and his future with Tampa Bay. "I won't say anything as far as contract but I love this organization," said Graham. "I've been a part of it for five years. There is mutual respect on both sides. I feel good about them, and they feel the same about me. I think those two things will lead to [a new contract] getting done."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Being in the last year of his contract with the Bucs, many people thought Graham was avoiding the team's practices to show his displeasure with not having a contract extension. Graham was asked directly if his absence from OTAs was contract-related. "No. OTAs are voluntary," said Graham. "Of course we happen to be talking about the contract, and hopefully it will get done at some point. I'm a happy person, man. ..." Graham added that he'll attend the mandatory mini-camp and will not hold out of training camp.
