What do you mean "the way he's acted about this whole situation"? Graham has been totally out of the public eye concerning everything contract related. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. This "whole situation" is nothing more than the average contract negotiation between an agent and a team's front office and the NFLPA versus the league office (in the case of the franchise tag designation). As these things go this one has been extremely low-key and uneventful. Jimmy Graham has been completely above reproach throughout the entire affair.

It is really beginning to irritate me reading these totally misguided statements.

Another WINNER!!! BING!

It is really beginning to irritate me reading these totally misguided statements.
I've simply decided that I will refute each and every post I see in that vein until someone starts explaining what they mean in reality instead of just what they feel.

The feeling is:

1. JG should be grateful to be with the Saints.

2. That JG's number only exists because of the offense he is in.

3. That JG is "soft" and can be shut down by physical long corners.

4. That JG doesn't block.

5. That the Saints would improve if the traded JG (they cannot BTW) or got the two first round picks for him leaving (both a fantasy and debatable vis a vis its accuracy).

6. That since he didn't sign his contract, he doesn't want to be here.

7. The most important thing: He makes a ton of money, so why is he "complaining" and why is he not satisfied with what the team is offering him?

Because of these feelings, many which are misguided, many think that he's some type of cancer and needs to be gone.

It's crazy talk man. I mean totally looney toons.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

I know what you mean, and I too will continue to attempt to educate those who appear to not have a clue concerning all things negotiation related.
