yawn

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.

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.

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.

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.

So is that what we have on the table?

I believe so.
It sounds reasonable to me.

So in other words, in Loomis I trust.

I could see Loomis making him play for the "Tag Money" only this season. With the ruling going against all TE( which is what happened) they might look at the position like they do the RB position, not as glamorous as it use to be and drop the money. The Saints control his butt now. Love it.
