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...

It doesn't matter how much money someone already has five million dollars is five million dollars and is A Lot of money.

I don't think anyone on this board wouldn't whine their asses off to double their salary. And even more so for 5 mil. I would be a sniveling little biatch if I could get 5 mil out of it.
