Graham's tweet: 'Shocked and disappointed'

It's time to make some changes on that side anyway.

I don't get why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch about Jimmy getting paid. He has earned his money he is about to get. These players that are getting cut cause they are making too much for the production they are giving bottom line.

This is what winning teams have to do in order to keep winning
look at new England think they never let good players go

I have no problem with him wanting to get paid, but I think sending out a tweet that you are disappointed and shocked about the offseason and losing all your friends when its what is necessary to do so in order to get paid is kind of stupid.

I'm not upset by the moves. This needed to happen, saints have gotten the message. And with playmakers on this team a few years from now, it will make it easier for the next qb who takes over when Brees is done.

Jimmy doesn't seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Brees Contract... He can't play on the road which is half of our games so his pay should be docked accordingly. Restructure to 15 a year bud.

Jimmy's a TE , a disappearing one too ! 9m max take it or I'll take the Picks ...

How would jimmy know that lance or any others players would get cut for his contract if that's even the case

Rell&Gold · 03-08-2014, 12:15 AM

Players get cut when production doesn't match the pay, it was bound to happen I'll miss #16 but I think #84 will suffice

Could be Jimmy gets more than a shock if Loomis don't want to open up the vault and makes him play for TE tag money only. I believe Loomis would not be stupid enough to keep him if the ruling comes back in Grahams favor for WR pay. And out of curiosity what kind of comp. pick would we recieve for him anyway? I would seriously draft a TE this year.
