This was eerily similar to an Obama tactic...

once again, this is some jack ass reporter speculating. The 2 sides will come together and they will work out an agreement.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jimmy Graham has said something to the tune of 'if I wasn't playing with Drew Brees I would probably retire' so lets just see what happens before we go through this cycle again.

I don't really understand what you are saying in regards to Jenkins? Are you saying the Saints should give him a $11M contract next offseason or are you saying that that would be the going rate for him?!

Jenkins will be on his last contract year with the Saints in 2013 and he is going to be an UFA come next offseason, so we'll see what he can do in a contract year this coming season.

Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports reports that a league mentioned that Saints TE Jimmy Graham could target $12 million per season in his next contract.

...and PT was looking for Steven Jackson money.

No news here.

There's that salary cap thing that allows us to compete with the New York, Chicago, and New England Markets...

I know what happens after dudes get paid - they end up sucking cause they don't care any more.

everyone needs to settle down. it isn't even free agency yet and everyone is going ****ing nuts over yahoo articles about what might happen next offseason...

Great "insider information" that a player coming up on a contract year will "monitor" what another player gets. Can you say Flacco "monitored" Brees last year.
