They're claiming he lined up 67% of the time either wide or in the slot.

Interesting. I'm curious to see what comes of this then, if anything, besides an even further upset Jimmy Graham. :)

Just read this.....I really hate that they put pot on their list of banned stuff. It doesn't enhance performance and it's probably what a lot of these guys need week to week just to relax.

It's been discussed ad infinitum ......but if it isn't performance enhancing they should be testing everyone from the owners to Goddell on down to the referees for it. Every NFL employee....period. Being in the NFL is a privilege, or so they say.

LMFAO!!!! First they overpay one of the most overrated players in NFL History, then they pass on their #1 player because they are overpaying the most overrated player in NFL History.
I wonder how many Spielman haters here would rather have Jerry Jones as the owner/GM.

They had a decent team last year too. That is surprising.
