Jimmy Graham Contract

Utah_Saint · 07-01-2014, 01:48 PM

Graham won't want to play under the tag as a WR either. He'll want a long term deal with guaranted money.

This whole tag, appeal, arbitrate process is just to establish the starting point for the negotiations for a new contract. There are only two points to start from using the tag 7 and a half million per year which too low and 12 and a half million which is too high.

Could Saints' Jimmy Graham get franchise tag ruling this week?

jeanpierre · 07-01-2014, 08:21 PM

Arbitrator's ruling coming Thursday in Jimmy Graham's franchise-tag grievance - ESPN

Why does Triplett's name have to come second?!? Schefter is such a *****...we know who did the legwork and has more information about the Saints at his disposal...

And by the way...

"Either party can appeal Burbank's decision. But in the meantime, the winner will gain critical leverage in their long-term contract negotiations. The Saints and Graham have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement or else Graham can play under only a one-year deal this season."

Don't know about that Q...

Mentor of mine in business has a saying - "Nothing ever happens on Mondays or Fridays"...

Personally, I'd like to see the saga come to a halt ASAP with a contract that gives Graham security commensurate with his performance yet not an albatross that would limit our team from continuing to improve itself...

like jimmy don/t get enough attention on the field I hope this don,t change his work ethic and humbleness. don't want to upset anyone but jimmy may stumble this year. not by an injury but by the negative attention it gives to his position. unlike if he was a center or guard. he was already harassed and assaulted the last third of the season and playoffs.

Feel ya, but if he wants to be one of the greats (and paid like one) it falls on him to step up and rise above punks like Sherman and Talib...

Ruling is out Burbank says he's a tight end just heard on sirius

Idea...Wide receivers are typically smaller, faster guys and tight ends are typically bigger, slower guys. So, if Graham want's to be classified and paid as a wide received, let him run like one. If he can outrun....say..... Brandin Cooks I say give him the money. If not, Jimmy, please shut the "f" up and play ball.
