Following up on a previous item. ... Graham made his first appearance of the off-season at the Bucs' mandatory mini-camp Tuesday but he stopped short of a guarantee that he would report to training camp on time if contract talks have not produced a new deal by the July 25 reporting date. "Hopefully something will get done before then," Graham said. "I won't say anything whether or not (I'll be there). I'm being optimistic about it. Like I say, I don't know."
