| February 15, 2008 Earnest Graham, who is scheduled to make a paltry $512,520 in 2008, has been in negotiations for a new long-term deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Graham is a four-year veteran, who took over the primary rushing duties after RB Cadillac Williams went down last season. Graham started 10 games, carrying the ball 222 times for 848 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was also a factor in the passing game, posting 49 receptions and 324 yards. Graham is a bruiser with soft hands, and securing his services is a pretty big deal for the Buccaneers, considering the uncertain status of Williams. |
| January 7, 2008 Buccaneers running back Earnest Graham is looking for a new contract following his breakout season, according to the Tampa Tribune. He has one year left on his current contract. "Time will tell. Hopefully, I did enough for a new contract," Graham told the paper after Sunday's loss to the Giants. "It's a business and I'm not an expert on it, so we'll see how it goes." The Buccaneers would be wise to reward Graham, who makes $512,520 per year with his current deal, for his huge season. If Tampa give Earnest a long-term deal and Carnell Williams comes back from his surgery, it could create plenty of competition at the starting running back spot next season. |
