You still went through a convoluted series of hoops to lose 9m in cap space. If you have 9m in cap space to lose just grab the best 9m talent that hits free agency and save your self the headaches.

Everyone diving into the musical chairs when just letting him go is easier, and your getting a whole hell of a lot better proven value for your dollar.

The fact that the Saints love Graham seems to be being ignored. If they had 9m to spare, they would offer it.

Oh yea.... If Jimmy wants 12m, why again is he signing a 7m tender? You missed one party in your plan. What does Jimmy get?

Really, truly enjoy many of your posts as they're very insightful and shows you're looking for the story within the story...

I like that...

But, you should slow down as you don't read things thoroughly - see second to last line of my post and pause...

And in the last line is the apologia for why the Saints would still geaux through with that scenario...

And you vehemently disagreed that the Saints should geaux Franchise Tag, Non-Exclusive and that's exactly what happened...

Just offered a scenario whereby Graham would geaux without the Saints getting two firsts, not advocating it...

And I will miss Graham as he's been my favorite Saints since he hit training camp as a Rookie and I was there...

But there's too dam# much money tied up in too few players, including Brees who can't throw the long ball any longer...

We've got to get a better distribution of talent in the respective units and I fault Loomis as a poor negotiator...
