Graham, 35, has had stints with 10 NFL teams, but spent the bulk of his career -- eight seasons with the Bengals. Although Graham is a 12-year veteran, he came a lot cheaper than 14-year Pro Phil Dawson, who signed a $2.5 million free contract with the 49ers. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Graham signed a one-year deal worth $940,000, the 2013 minimum for a player with his experience. Graham, a Pro Bowler in 2005, ranks fifth in NFL history with an 85.4 percent success rate on field goals. Originally signed by New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in 2000, he's appeared in 155 career regular season games and converted on 245 of 297 field goal attempts and 368 of 373 (98.7 percent) PATs for 1,103 career points. Last year, he appeared in all 16 games with Houston and set a Texans’ franchise record with a career-high 138 points, which ranked fifth in the league. He connected on 31 of 38 (81.5 percent) field goal attempts and set a career-high with 28 touchbacks on kickoffs. Graham was selected to the Pro Bowl following the 2005 season after he finished third in the NFL with 131 points, while connecting on 28 of 32 (87.6 percent) field goal attempts. He spent eight seasons (2003-09) with Cincinnati and set Bengals’ records for points in a season (131 in 2005), field goals in a season (31 in 2007) and field goals in a single-game (7 in 2007).
