Re: Jimmy Graham demanding 12 million per season?
I think they should tag him with the non-exclusive tag. That way he can negotiate with other teams and we get something for him. He isn't worth a cent over 8 mil and not sure he's even worth that much.. I know, I kwow, he's the best TE in the NFL but he isn't irreplaceable. The only one who is irreplacble is Brees.

It's so heavily backloaded that the last two years would likely not be paid (or restructured). But as signed it is an 8 year contract if you include option years. NFL contracts are smoke and mirrors. The only numbers that are real are the signing bonus and the annual salary numbers. Any team can cut any player pretty much at any time during the contract as long as they are willing to eat the dead money over a year (or two). In short a 5 year/$50 million contract with $30 million in salary in the last 2 years and a $15 million signing bonus really isn't a $50 million contract. It's a 3 year/$20 million contract because the player will be cut after year three when the salary escalates. SFIAH |

Re: Jimmy Graham demanding 12 million per season?
Jimmy's not asking for anything...his agent is. If they can break open the roster designation then agents will make more money. Jimmy will get signed after all that plays out.

Sometimes I think people forget how really remarkable it is that Brees has passed for 5000 yards FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE SEASONS!. 5000 passing yards is a feat that has only been attained by 5 QBs in the history of the game, and only Brees has ever accomplished it more than once. We need to agree that organizations win Super Bowls. The Saints in their current configuration, with Brees, have not only put the organization in a position to win it, but actually accomplished it.

Re: Jimmy Graham demanding 12 million per season?
My thought is if he will not come off his high horse I would do a sign and trade. Easily get a rd 1 and 2 this year for him. As deep is this draft is imagine the talent you could get with those 2 picks.

A sign and trade works for restricted free agents because the team still holds the rights to the player. But not UFAs. SFIAH |
