The Facts:
Graham is
entering the final season of his rookie deal, and GM Mickey Loomis acknowledged the team has discussed a contract extension. "He knows we want to have him here long-term, for his entire career, and I think he wants to be here for that same period," Loomis told reporters Thursday. "These things have a way of working out for us."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Graham is a strong candidate to return to his monster form of 2011, when he accounted for 99 catches, 1,310 yards and 11 scores. Wrist and ankle problems limited him last season, but with HC Sean Payton back in the fold, Graham has a chance to become the league's most productive tight end in 2013. Indeed, fantasy owners might even benefit further from any increased, contract-related motivation Graham brings to the table this year.
