Jimmy Graham to appeal arbitrators decision

jnormand · 07-14-2014, 04:31 PM

All the confidence a long term deal would get done just got crushed.

I thought the initial arbitration was a little ridiculous given that he IS a TE and shouldn't have had to have all that for him to be deemed so. But to appeal the arbitrators decision? That's just foolish.

Then why appeal???????? This guy is really causing unwanted stress for the Saints this offseason. As awesome as his is and will be in the future I say trade him if he does not sign a long term deal tomorrow.

Because his agent is trying to get him all the money he can

A lot of people were surprised when the Saints didn't try to sign Graham last season. I think the deadline stress is all on Mickey.

Last season we were strapped tighter to the salary cap than we are this year, the only reason I can think of
