Graham hasn't challenged it. I respect that.

The Saints never like to show their hand. There will be a deal done before training camp, but just because Mickey isn't coming straight out and saying exactly where they're at there will always be speculation.
Reminds me of SP's contract crap-up last year...when all the talking heads said he would sign with Cowboys.

Back to the OP
it seems the longer JG is 'unsigned' the more players we get. Jimmy's patience is helping us redefine our secondary

It's all a media creation, as evidenced by the fact that Jimmy doesn't seem to give a crap. Everyone knows a long-term deal will get done without any issues but it's Mike Florio over at TMZ, oops I mean PFT and his peers who insist that this is all so dramatic.

He wrote today that Jimmy has 3 years to file grievance.

3 years? Whats that mean? Will the NFL reimburse him? Will they force the Saints to reimburse him? Will it disqualify our wins because we were technically over the cap?

I have no idea. Florio (hate that guy) thinks that this qualifies as "system problem"

" For injury grievances, the player has 25 days from termination of his contract. For non-injury grievances, the player has fifty days. For system arbitrations, the player has a whopping three years"

"Certain specific provisions of the CBA fall under system arbitration. One of them is Article 10, which sets forth the rules regarding the franchise tag. Thus, if/when a player disagrees with the specific type of franchise tag applied to him, he has not 50 days but a whopping three years to do something about it"

This just can't be right. Way too many potential problems.
