New Orleans Saints Tight End #80.
Private Pilot

He has never said he wasn't a tight end. He is nothing but a pawn in the NFLPA's game.

And why should he. He is as much a spectator in all of this as the rest of us.

Union members bring the grievence to the Union. He is no spectator!! He is doing it for the money. It's his grievence, not our's.

No, the NFLPA is doing it for future leverage, just like they did with the Brees case two years ago. Graham is going to get exactly the same long term deal regardless of franchise designation.
