Jimmy Graham demanding 12 million per season?

6 years for 60 million

It's going to get done whether Saints fans like it or not.

I know one thing for certain, I'm going to be damn thrilled.

6 more years of Brees to Graham then dunk. Yeah, I can dig that!

Hope you like 9 win seasons and one and done in the playoffs because that's what you will get with so much money invested in so few players. You'll end up with a few stars sorrounded by a bunch of below average players because thats all the cap left will afford. I like Graham and Brees, but those two contracts are super bowl dream crushers.

I would be happy with that if it were back loaded and had a lower guaranteed money. First year cap impact should be around 5-6.5 mil then we could cut/restructure in the later years when the dead money would be less detrimental (just like W.Smith).

With what he is asking I do not see it being anything less than a Gronk contract, E.g. 8 years to stretch it out. Gronk was 55m/ stretched out over 8 years with a 8m signing bonus with a first year cap hit of 5.5m.

Adding 5m and cutting two years off that model will hurt cap..
