Jimmy should go for absolutely as much money as he can. I don't see how anyone could fault any player from trying to get the most they can.

We've got another month of this; this part is just leverage and movements to gain further leverage...

Don't fault Graham or his representation for wanting to maximize his contract; just don't want this fabricated BS in the press he's a WR not a TE, or the wah-wah Twitter Posts...

If he or agent has to make a statement, then just say -

"We've told the Saints how much we want..."

"Jimmy is a unique and special player..."

"JG has played well above his contract..."

"Mr. Graham wants to retire a Saint..."

Then just stay on message...

All this other clever lawyer/agent bullshinski is just (temporarily) losing fan support as most fans have enough wah-wah in their lives with which to deal...
