Re: Jimmy Graham to appeal arbitrators decision
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Saints and franchise player Jimmy Graham are "closing in" on a deal that would make Graham the highest-paid tight end in league history.
Reports of a long-term deal have been seconded by FOX Sports and Profootballtalk. The sides have until Tuesday to finalize a long-term agreement. If talks fall apart, Graham would be forced to play out 2014 under the tight-end franchise tag (though he's appealed his tag as a tight end). Graham will blow by the $16 million guaranteed — the most for any current tight end — Dennis Pitta and Jared Cook earned in their recent deals. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Well... this is a little awkward. |

All little common sense goes a long way. |

Re: Jimmy Graham to appeal arbitrators decision
A deal will get done, this move was the only leverage left for Graham's agent to try at the 12 mil

Re: Jimmy Graham to appeal arbitrators decision
I guess it's just an insurance policy for JG to appeal just in case something goes wrong at the last minute?
