And last I checked, my lawyer does what I tell him what to do...

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?!?)
Wrong. I have followed Graham on Twitter since he joined the team. He has NEVER tweeted anything about his tag designation. Immediately after he was tagged he posted one jokingly saying, "Tag! I'm it." and then another saying he was "shocked and disappointed." That is it.

Even his agent has not said anything about the WR angle as far as I can gather. That has been 100% the NFLPA. Graham has NEVER claimed he was a WR in any manner. The whole argument has been put forth by the NFLPA.

Guido, like your insightfullness, really do...

but you can't say "He has NEVER tweeted anything about his tag designation." (then state on two occasions he did) "Immediately after he was tagged he posted one jokingly saying, "Tag! I'm it." and then another saying he was "shocked and disappointed.""...

So either he NEVER twitted or he did; point of fact he did and he's made other public comments that I felt was below the image he's projected thus far in his career...

Second, will reiterate that he's an adult, and plays football with millions of people watching - so the real Pollyanna thinking that he's some innocent kid caught up in the power struggle of organized labor and old-guard management is bullshinski; he's a big boy and has to wear the big boy pants in negotiations in his behalf...

Not hating on Graham, just not drinking the cool-aid absolving him of his role in this...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Read closely jeanpierre. Those two tweets that I posted referred to the act of the tag alone. The NFL did not declare his designation as a TE until later. He, as I correctly stated, has NEVER tweeted nor mentioned a word about his tag designation.

Ever.

And you state that " he's made other public comments that I felt was below the image he's projected thus far in his career..."

I challenge you here and now to find and post one. You type as they are so well known. Show them then.

I'm sorry, but you are either speaking out of misguided ignorance (not saying you are dumb or anything, just that you don't know the truth) or are making it up (which I really doubt).
