[QUOTE="TJV, post: 559620, member: 4300"] • If I thought Graham was hurting the Saints I’d cheer, not post as if I were personally offended at his negotiating tactics. • Players almost universally say their teammates should get as much as they can so I don’t think Graham is causing a problem in the locker room. Brees says ‘Jimmy’s my guy’. • This is from a cbssports site: “According to ESPN.com, 45 percent of Graham's snaps were in the slot, 33 percent were as an in-line tight end and 22 percent were out wide.” I really don’t care but he certainly has an argument he spent more time at WR than TE. (I think the Saints have a valid counter argument too.) The article also mentions the Ravens Terrell Suggs argued he was more a DE than a LB and the Ravens settled it by offering him the average of the two tags. • Graham made (by NFL “star” standards) a paltry $1.3M last season. Maybe if the Saints had approached him earlier… • As I’ve posted before IMO the compensation of professional athletes is best thought of in regards to celebrities in the fields of music, movies and TV. Of course their compensation doesn’t compare to that of “ordinary” people. • What Jordy said about his upcoming contract situation was extraordinary because so few people in his situation would say it.
