Re: J. Graham SIGNS Contract

Yep. Great post, I was about to post the same. I'm guessing the first year base salary is in the $3 Million dollar range, with a signing bonus of at least $6 Million.

That is a good contract for both sides. At 30-31 he will be primed for his last big contract.

Re: J. Graham SIGNS Contract

I see Graham having a record setting year running routes beneath Cooks, Stills and Morgan. We now have so much speed at WR that Goddell will be trying to figure out how to make it illegal.

4 Years/$40 Mill, $21 Mill Guaranteed

Good contract for both the player and the team. Jimmy will be 31at the end of this contract, so he will be able to resign for 1 more contract.

Re: Jimmy Graham SIGNS Contract

Enough money left to pass around....
Guaranteed failclown losses twice annually for the next 4 seasons....
This contract is a WIN-WIN if you ask me!

So, ..add the five. carry the 1, divide by 4...

Re: Jimmy Graham SIGNS Contract

Happy for the Saints and fans...

Happy for Jimmy Graham...

Hope he has good advisers and doesn't geaux overboard on his new plane...

But, this is his last big contract...

He might get a high yield one year deal if he's close to HOF record breaking that could be completed with the Saints...

Let's geaux get us a Lombardi...

No, the last three months were about the NFLPA challenging a portion of the CBA just like they did when Brees was tagged two years ago. There was no doubt the deal would get done and there was no reason to do it any sooner than today.

Per WalterFootball.com

Quote:

Saints extend TE Jimmy Graham (4 years, $40M; $21M guaranteed): A+ Grade
This may seem like a ton of money for a tight end - it's the most ever for one - but compare it to some other contracts around the NFL. Jared Cook received a ridiculous $35.11 million ($19M guaranteed) over five years from the Rams. Dennis Pitta, meanwhile, inked a 5-year, $32.5 million pact with the Ravens, which included $16 million guaranteed. By comparison, New Orleans is getting a steal.

Graham is well worth the money. He's one of the elite play-makers in football, and with Rob Gronkowski struggling to stay healthy every year, Graham has become the NFL's top tight end. Barring injury, this will be money well spent.
