Excellent points, vtiger! Why lay the blame on a player that has already played through a tremendously undervalued contract and leave the others that we see as "vital" without ant blame? Why should they get everything they want and have it be at the expensive of the one who is clearly the hero of our franchise's history?

Brees has been being paid far below the average decent QB for years.

And no one is giving any credit to Jimmy Graham, who is making the league minimum salary (525k), and hasn't said a peep about trying to get a new contract for himself while everyone else fights over millions. Probably because he realizes that he is still making more at the bottom rung than most people in the world will see in 10 years.

The guy came from nothing & made something of himself. Besides.....Graham knows he's up next year & his pay day will be significant. But to reiterate......Jimmy Graham is a class act & one of the best human beings to ever wear a fleur-de-lis. Last year, this guy sat down for about 30 min. with my 12 yr. old just talking. You don't see that much these days in the NFL. My son got an autograph & a great story to tell at school that day. BTW.....his words after were "Jimmy Graham is awesome. He's so much better than Reggie Bush." He still remembers the autograph snub from Reggie in 2006 at the airport Hilton, when Reggie told him he didn't sign autographs. LOL.

I wanna know how everyone seems to run into Saints players but me. I have lived in New Orleans my entire life and have yet to see a player anywhere but at a game...
