[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 559802, member: 6211"] Right on, ivo. Negotiating with position in mind also ignores the way the importance of certain positions changes as the sport continues to evolve. Watch a Saints game: Graham is usually the first, second, and sometimes third read on passing downs. The degree to which Brees relies on Graham as a target is silly. Defenses have to scheme around him and, for all intents and purposes, he's Megatron running a different route tree. It only makes sense that he would like to be paid like one of the most valuable receiving options in the league (he is!). I'm confused by all the animosity toward a player looking after his best interests from the "He's a TE- See, an Arbitration Board even Said So!" crowd. Talk about confusing title for substance. I understand the importance of the label within the collective bargaining agreement (i.e., the franchise tag) but Graham's objection to having his salary capped under this agreement shouldn't be treated like some sort of moral blemish on Graham's part.
