1. "Neither Sexton, the Saints nor the union are talking about what Graham might do yet." (until that happens its speculation on top of speculation)

2. Suggs is not a precedent. There was no ruling from an arbitrator.

3. The only statement that actually matters is one that has been made by Jimmy graham him self : "That's not for me to decide," Graham said at an adidias charity event with New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Gordon in the French Quarter. "I'm going to do, and I'm going to play, whatever I'm asked to do. It's that simple."

Maybe some good news.

Adam Schefter reporting that the salary cap could be rising to $130ml.

Isn't it at $123ml now? That's not too much help.

For us 7m is huge brother.... Frikken huge! That 7m alone could be JG ft, save 4 players, add a very good FA after the shuffling is done.

7m is signing our drafts and paying for the practice squad.

My point is he isn't "gone" yet.

You have nothing to trade

We're not actually gaining an additional $7 million from what we've been looking at so far this offseason - since all the cap figures up until now were based on an estimate of $126.4 million - when all those cuts were made last week the calculation of being $4 million under the cap meant we were at about 122 million.

It's just that the cap went up by a lot more than what was projected.

Last year it was $123 million, but we've been counting up our cap space based on the $126.4 million figure. But an extra 3.6 million is nothing to sneeze at.
