It's like...... Buying a brand new Porche Panamerra Turbo Executive S, then driving it to a Honda lot and trading it in on 3 Hondas. Jesus, you just lost a whole Honda's worth of depreciation.

It's gambling with a CC cash advance to pay the rent.

Well, a sign and trade could offer the flexibility whereby the guaranteed money in the contract would be there to assure Graham, but the contract could be structured to minimize the hit the Saints cap would take this season...

Another option would be to simply tag as a Tight End and trade as the link to the Kristian Garic article proposes, as has several Saints fans at this site have done for weeks; in that scenario, a cap on the Graham contract hit would be minimized or capped...

Really against assigning that much money to such a small part of the roster - what happens when you're Porche Panamerra Turbo Executive S (nice selection) breaks down?!? You've got a gorgeous date getting anxious while you're thumbing it on the interstate...
