Jimmy Graham demanding 12 million per season?

Danno · 02-25-2014, 06:16 PM

@LarryHolder: RT @FFD: Jimmy Graham and the Saints remain several million dollars per season apart according to @MikeGarafolo.

@LarryHolder: RT @FFD: According to Mike's sources, the Saints are willing to make Graham the highest paid TE in the NFL. Graham wants roughly $12mil per yr.

12 million/season???

I don't begrudge him for going after every penny he can. Honestly I don't.

But I agree with you 1000% here. 12 million a year? No friggin way I'd do that. No way Jimmy. No way man.

No kidding. That would ruin this franchise for the next 5-10 years. We already have so much money tied up in Drew. That would be 2 players that take up what, almost 50% of our cap space?? Lets get a pick or sign and trade. This years draft is the deepest ever in regards to WR we can get someone just as good in the draft with the extra pick to take his place. That or a TE that can actually block sometimes.

I completely agree. I'd sooner give Pierre Thomas 12 million dollars a year!

Jimmy Graham and his delusional agent are making me pissed. I hope he gets tagged as a tight end. The Saints are offering to make Jimmy the highest paid tight end in the league and he has rejected that offer. I'm tired of him.

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.

I wouldn't even say [that].

Two, actually three QB's played in the Super Bowl who were not named Drew Brees.

Greed is eating us from within.

My counter to that is that for the New Orleans Saints that one and only one QB played in the Super Bowl for the team. And won it. And has help put the team in the position of being a playoff contender virtually every year.

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.
