Jimmy Graham Contract
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; If he had manned up and not get punked by the PEDhawks in the playoffs, I would be sweating the contract as well. IMO, the Saints should save the cap money and let him go. I don't want to lose ...

IMO, the Saints should save the cap money and let him go. I don't want to lose him, but we have more pressing needs than TE. |

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. |
