That is just how it works, but the Saints can pay him anything they see fit.  And don't kid yourself, he is a WR.  He doesn't block all he does is catch passes.  He is more a WR than he is a TE, he is only a TE by title.Not all NFL players make crazy money, a lot of them go broke paying their medical bills after they are done playing.  you can see it as money grubbing but i see it as someone wanting to make sure he and his family are set because those medical bills don't pay themselves.  And why is it okay for the team to cut a guy at any point and not owe him anything from the contract he signed but a player is supposed to be loyal and take an offer he feels isn't good enough for what he brings to a team? I am not saying Jimmy Graham is worth 10+ million dollars, and I know i wouldn't pay that kind of money for him.  If the Saints don't pay him what he wants, some other team will.  the ball is in the Saints court, I say tag him and trade him. But I can't blame him for trying to get the best deal possible.</blockquote>
