Graham may miss first days of camp

This isn't really surprising with how the rookies have been signing, I hope it isn't a long holdout.

The sad part is that there's absolutely no reason for this to be happening

I expected it to happen

For the most part, the decision is out of the players hands. As a rookie at least. They really don’t know to make the agent work for them. I don’t think it will really effect him. It hardly ever does for the more simple positions. Allen worries me a bit more because the FS spot is more complex than the DE spot. No doubt everything will be worked out in the end though.

Educate Me

I’m not to savvy when it comes to contracts and holdouts exc…. But how does this make any sense, what so ever? Wouldn’t it be common sense to sign your potential starters immediately? This really upsets me, especially because this moron Dez Bryant is already talking about rookie of the year.

It has more to do with Graham’s agent then Graham himself, Graham has said that he wants to be in camp on time but his agent wants to wait and see what picks 12 and 14 get. Personnally I was hoping they would do what the Cowboys did with Bryant and work off of last years #13 pick but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

I don't know why everyone's ripping on Bryant

People seem to want to make him out to be some sort of jackass, but all he’s done is show up, practice well, and shut the hell up. He signed his deal and just wants to get down to business.
Sure he f#cked up in college, but it’s not exactly unheard of for kids to get in trouble with agents (hello Reggie Bush and Curtis Enis) or decide they’re too important to follow team rules/go to class (hello, Joe Jurevicius and Deion Sanders).
I think it’s a lot of wishful thinking for this guy to be a f#ck up.

Dez won't be ROY

there are too many other rookies that will have bigger roles.

Dez will be good…but Dallas has a lot of playmakers to hand plays out to.

LOL

I guess I’ll put it this way:

It would be good if Dez was ROY, because that means Miles Austin and Felix Jones simply didn’t get theirs

YOU PHONY, YOU GREAT BIG PHONY

It's not Graham

It’s his agent. If Graham says he wants to be there, he wants to be there. He even said he’d show up even if no contract was done (that, however, isn’t allowed)…

Don’t worry until July 30th. That’s the first day of full team camp, and that’s when we need Graham there.

Nate Allen needs to get there for day 1…in fact…Nate Allen should already be at Lehigh studying and waiting for the rest of the rookies to show up

It doesn’t feel like the Eagles are making this a priority, it’s like we’ve all accepted it’s going to happen or something…

I won't mind this

as much if Nate Allen is signed and at camp on time.

If they both miss time however, then it’s just more salt on the wounds after Dez Bryant signed in time for their camp.

I'm with you

I don’t care about Graham until the full team reports. He’s going expected to start as a situational pass rusher, and a few days with rookies isn’t going to mean anything for him anyway.

Nate Allen is the guy who can’t afford to miss a single day, rookie or full team
