Re: Jimmy Graham Contract
Let me spell it out...
If Graham, a Team Trade Partner (i.e. Dolphins), and Saints sit down and agree on a conditional series of actions... Jimmy signs the franchise tender at 7 mil (Saints Cap Hit) for this season on the condition of... The new team will sign, extend him with guaranteed money that both have reached on previous agreement... The cap hit for the Saints will be approximately 7mil (the current TE number)... Jimmy's rights secured, he's traded for a package other than the two first round draft picks... Once the new team (i.e. Dolphins) has his rights they're free to extend the contract prior to the NFL deadline in the summer to a mutual satisfactory number that both the new team and Jimmy had agreed... This scenario has happened and was offered as an optional scenario that could happen... Motivations? Saints have a finite, salary committment of 7mil for this year only to move Graham on; are able to get a compensatory package to offset his loss; and begin relieving themselves of committing large salary cap numbers to just a handful of players... Jimmy has the financial compensation package that is his and his representatives priority... Dolphins have a college hometown hero, bona-fide NFL star to augment their offense and compete in the AFC East... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
