I said it earlier this year, I see "Big Bob" Tonyan taking over the starting TE spot by week 6.

Gutey is hoping to get something out of Graham.
He doesn't want to conceed it was a bad move.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tonyan sees a bigger role this season. But I'm cautiously optimistic that Graham sees something like 800 yards and 6 tds this year - assuming he stays healthy. Probably a low end of 500 yards and 2 tds, high end up to 1000/8 td. I don't think Tonyan is gonna put up numbers like that, but I'll be happy for him if he does. Realistically, Tonyan is probably looking at a couple hundred yards and a TD or two.

Again, assuming everyone is healthy, the pecking order for receptions probably looks a bit like:

1. Adams
2. MVS
3. Alison
4. Graham
5. Jones
6. Kumero
7. J. Williams
8. Tonyan

Tonyan could start taking more snaps, but I would say it's equally likely that Sternberger starts taking Tonyan's lunch money by midseason. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Might want to avoid saying such things about a guy who just cut the first WR he drafted. In the short time, he's shown he's willing to admit mistake and move on. I believe he also traded a former 1st round player for Deshone Kizer and cut him a year later.

I wouldn't bet against you on your Tonyan comment though.

In this offensive scheme, the large sot WR or TE is normally a playmaker, I'm waiting to see who steps up to that role. Allison and Graham are the favorites, bit who knows.

I also expect them to have some select packages for Lewis.

Gutey has shown that he’s not afraid to cut his losses and move on. I REALLY like that! It shows that he cares more about the team then his ego.

Very little money involved in either move.

Randall was part of the class of 2015 purge.
He was gone one way or another, trading for Kizor was a way to maybe get something for Randall ....didn't work out.

Not hard to move on from a 4th rnd pick when later rnd and udfa's outplayed him.

Remember Brian Brohm? Not as much as Matt Flynn .

Graham on the other hand was Gutey's 1st big move in Free Agency.
He has 20+mll wrapped up in Graham already with another 10mil on the books.

30mil mistakes are hard for anyone to admit.
