Because of the way he lines up, he should get paid like a receiver. With so many players playing hybrid positions these days, this is going to be a headache for the league.

I'm actually not all that familiar with Graham, but I do know the roles a tight end and a wide receiver play on their respective teams. I believe both are equally important, but a tight end has the distinction of pulling 'double duties' that a wide receiver wouldn't necessarily have to contend with, and that's blocking! Many a running back has broken an end run and gone for either several yards or a touchdown because of the blocking of the tight end on that side of the line of scrimmage! In that respect, perhaps a tight end should be paid more . . .
