Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
Question in my mind is 'Will Jimmy's contract extension, in lieu of just signing the Franchise Tag (NE) Tender, give him more guaranteed money and a favorable cap number for this season?!?

Spotrac showing 4.4m in cap space with out Bailey, Bush, Haralson counting for some reason. Haralson ?, Bailey 3.5m/year, Bush 2.25m/year = 5.75m Overthecap showing 1.7m cap space, not showing Bailey but is showing Haralson... and Bush's numbers are incorrect. So honestly HTF knows where we stand on cap space at the moment.... I know we get the hammer of we go over, but haven't seen where Loomis is making the space. |

Last 2 is usually guaranteed money # and terms of the guarantee. |

Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
Graham has three years to challenge his franchise-tag designation | ProFootballTalk
It’s clear that Graham doesn’t want to unnecessarily inflame the situation by forcing the player and the team to assume battle stations over whether his snaps taken in the slot should be treated as snaps taken as a receiver or as a tight end. At some point, however, he’ll come off as weak and uncertain regarding his position. For now, he’s avoiding the possibility of a backlash from Saints fans who may not like the fact that he’s trying to blow up the team’s cap situation, that he thinks he’s not a tight end, and that $7 million for 2014 somehow isn’t enough. It could be that Graham is giving the Saints until July 15, the deadline for signing a franchise player to a multi-year deal, to give him the contract he wants. If they don’t, then he’d presumably file the grievance, claiming he’s actually a receiver. |
