What the hell? He is a tight end!

In that respect we should start paying PT and Sproles wide receiver money because they catch so many passes.

The NFL is getting ridiculous.

I'm all for Graham getting his payday but this is getting stupid. Wtf is Brees supposed to call him? A tight receiver? How about a wide end? Jesus the guy plays TIGHT END!

If PT and Sproles lined up wide on the line twice as often as they line up in the backfield, they would have a legitimate claim to being called a wide receiver. And I suspect they would make that claim if it meant $4 million more per year.

Utah my point was that the story said that Brees basically screwed Jimmy over by calling him a Tight End. What is he supposed to call him. I know Jimmy will get paid and good for him. But he's still a "tight end". That's his position and no one should be said to be dicking him by calling him the position he plays. All I'm saying.

OK, I misunderstood. You're right. What was he supposed to say?

The only thing I have to add to that is... Amen.

It's been 2 years now can people stop complaining about Drew's income?
The day will coem when he retires and we'll wish we had another QB like him. I wish fans would stop being so cheap and realize talent cost money and if we don't pay for it someone else will.
Not everyone wants to give a hometown discount

I want a camera to follow around the people who say "keep it classy" 24/7 for a whole year so we can see the embodiment of class. Oh how I hate that phrase...

does everyone get the picture now?

The dude will be tagged unless he has an agent that believes in the future of the team. as if! cap wise tagging him is the smart move and next year Drew can step up and redo his contract without further killing of the cap.

The question will be this. Will grahams contract put us behind an 8 ball like Drews has?

I still have issues with Elite in Grahams case. In big games Elite players do not lay goose eggs. You expect a play or two from them at the very least from them.

jimmy has a history of laying eggs in these type of games

I want to keep Graham...
But I really don't think his last 2 years were elite.
I'm not for paying him as such.
