You have to be more subtle than that. Jimmy doesn't have to sign what you put in front of him. Regardless, he consumed ALL cap space and we are 8-10m in the hole when he inks. |

Re: NFL Designates Graham... TE
Why not just give him 10m bonus and balloon the end? 3m cap hit....
2m +1m 2m +1m 2m +1m 2m +1m 2m + 46m Because he won't sign that cr4p. He wants to be PAID not TOLD. |

Re: NFL Designates Graham... TE
BTW, he was tagged for a reason remember? If it was easy as some people think, he would have been signed.

Re: NFL Designates Graham... TE
That's why it is a negotiation. There is no reason to do anything until the last minute. Graham is going no where. It will most likely work just like Brees' deal by fitting as much as they could into the current year cap after free agents, other vets and rookies had been signed.

Re: NFL Designates Graham... TE
That said, may not want Jimmy out there getting offers for too long.
Jerry just restructured Romo and he is the special type of person that would give the house for Graham. |

Re: NFL Designates Graham... TE
That restructuring didn't clear any space for the Cowgirls. It only got them a little closer to the cap. They are not players at all.
