Never faulted him for seeking a max deal - just called BS on his WR argument - all of this is done in his name, he's an adult, therefore it is his argument...

Still gonna love the Saints and what he does to make the Saints win...

But like Brees and agent has done, if you take too much Pi, then we want be able to sign, retain other Alpha Betas to keep winning...

(see what I did there?!?)

spot on
Agents work for players, the union can only act as long as the player wishes.
Graham may be keeping quiet in the media but he knows whats going on as is happy for the NFLPA and Sexton to push this. He could just say get a deal done with the Saints or I sit/play out the tag and move as a FA next year. But he is happy for this to happen in the hope that he wins and has additional leverage on the long term deal.
