Result of the Graham Hearing

hagan714 · 06-25-2014, 04:37 AM

pretty serious conclusion is to be reached in this matter. how much do you pay a player that in today's NFL that is not a good enough blocker to be a TE. As a matter of fact many WR are better blockers. Yet is not an elite WR? Dude can be shut down pretty easily by CB. So what do you do with a mutant?

Brace yourself we may just come out of this with a position designation.

You have your answer there in your statement. He can be franchised as a mutant.

He's a TE. He will be slotted as such. Graham can play for the tag, holdout for a long term deal, or try and get the Saints to trade him. Simple. I'm personally not concerned about it. Loomis and Co. will do what's best for the Saints.

Is he a Wide End or a Tight Receiver? I really don't care. Just like everybody else I want a long term deal worked out and to get on with football

following the theme of the OP & Danno, here's the latest on JG:

NFL Trade Rumors: Jimmy Graham Heading to Cleveland Browns, Arbitration Ruling Sends Saints into Full-on Rebuild | Gospelherald.com

gotta love the headline
Apparently if lose Jimmy we are going to need to rebuild. Or we could just use of our other 7 offensive toys

1+1 is 436324644357823940263

That could well be up there as the dumbest article of the year.

He has an outstanding case that he will probably win.
According to ESPN.com, Graham's snaps were divided the following way:
45 percent as a slot receiver,
33 percent as an in-line tight end
22 percent as a wide receiver.

So Graham set up as a TE in 78% of snaps then
