this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; http://sports.yahoo.com/news/saints-...4071--nfl.html I wonder if there is any chance that negotiations will continue until that date- June 17, or are they at a standstill?...

Re: Date for Graham hearing set
Anyone have any insight as to how these things play out in the locker room? Do the guys get resentful when people hold out for more money? Or are they more pragmatic about the whole process?

Re: Date for Graham hearing set
What I want to know is, if it is ruled that he is a WR, then will we be given the option to rescind our franchise tag due to the fact that we do not want to pay him that much. I highly doubt that it gets that far, but I'm interested in how it would work if it did.

Re: Date for Graham hearing set
When there's a $5 mil difference, I think anyone in their right mind would challenge this. Having said that, there are other TEs who split out more than he does, and no WRs who lineup tight 33% of the time. He's a TE. That's my 2¢.

Re: Date for Graham hearing set
Almost half the players in the league are 'hybrids'.
Defenders play multiple roles, and just look at special teams. Will Morstead get a special tag bc he also kicks off? Will our new outside gunner get a special designation for that role? What if we change holders, does he forfeit that part of the salary? It's ridiculous. |
