Yeah, I agree. Maybe he should do something on the football field first before cihiming in on the situation. Until then maybe he should keep his piehole shut.

Per multiple sources, the case against Graham’s position that he should be treated as a receiver for franchise tag purposes included testimony from coach Sean Payton.

Ya'll are confusing the crap outta me.

The article states that Payton said he's a TE, NOT a WR.

Right?

I don't care. Offer him more than the highest paid TE no matter what the ruling is. If he doesn't take it fine, let him play under the tag for whatever his position he is ruled to be and use the long term money to get Jordan and Hicks signed next year. That much less restructuring Loomis has to do next year

I'll stick up for Graham's ability. And the mismatch it creates.
I'll stick up for Graham's right to try for as much money as he can get.

But I don't believe the Saints should have an open check book with him. It's not that I don't think he deserves a huge payday, but the Saints offense has been based on having too many different options for a defense to account for. So I don't think it makes sense to pay one receiver 12 million + / year.

From Sean Payton testified at Jimmy Graham hearing | ProFootballTalk

(Excerpt) "The specifics aren’t known, but the gist of the testimony was that Graham is a tight end, not a receiver. The consequence, if Payton’s testimony is accepted, will be $5.3 million less in 2014 earnings for Graham."

This is so frickin' stupid. Graham's earnings will be based solely upon his contract, not the dumbass ruling. Holy crap. These writers have no clue about what is going on and people posting their (the writer's) moronic prose simply perpetuate the idiocy.

My God, people. Get a grip.

Geez.
