You are quite welcome.
I gave up on this one a long time ago. It's a waste of time to even try...

Re: Graham designated TE by arbitrator
 

Seriously? A key decision that swings contract negotiations in our favor by several million dollars with one of our very best players is a yawner to you?

This decision was an extremely important one concerning our Saints and Jimmy Graham.

Re: Graham designated TE by arbitrator
 

not really. I trust in Mickey not only to balance the books but also to keep track of players and how they may effect the books. Yes i went there. I am sure what Jimmy was doing and were he was lining up was talked about through out the course of the season between SP and Mickey. If it was not Mickey was not doing his job.

I really would have been shocked if he won. i expected this out come.

pencil pushers did their job

Re: Graham designated TE by arbitrator
 

Contrary to reports, suggestions, and/or speculation that Wednesday’s ruling from arbitrator Stephen Burbank re-set the negotiations on a long-term deal between the Saints and tight end Jimmy Graham to square one, a source with knowledge of the discussions tells PFT that the Saints have not reduced or yanked their offer.

The Saints haven’t, and won’t, use the ruling that Graham is a tight end for franchise tag purposes to alter a proposal that would make Graham the highest-paid tight end in NFL history, with a package worth $9.5 million per year.

So is that what we have on the table?

Re: Graham designated TE by arbitrator
 

If he still wants more send his a$$ to a dysfunctional 4 win a season team with a total reject at qb. His stats will plummet the media will serenade and crucify him and he will realize that his rise was much more due to Brees and Payton than himself.

Meachem ? Bush ? Let him walk , with 2 first rounders and extra cap room in exchange we can sign Jordan to an extension ( plus the many guys who will soon earn a raise in the very very near future Vaccarro , Stills , Lewis , Bush , Robinson , possible Ingram extension ) oh and did I mention the 2 1st rounders ?

We can just sit back and wait for Winston to come out the draft and trade them for him to be Drews successor.

No one man is above the unit ...

Re: Graham designated TE by arbitrator
 

I believe so.
It sounds reasonable to me.
