How the Coli feel about the Jimmy Graham ruling

[PortCityProphet]

For those out the loop here's what happened: the Saints wanted to franchise tag Jimmy as a tight end and he was like nah I lineup wide and in slot more than I put my hand in the ground and produce like a WR gimme that WR tag money. So they went to arbitration and basically said you get covered by safeties and LBs and even call yourself a TE on your twitter
Y'all think Jimmy had a good case or Nah?

 

[HookersandIceCream]

NFL fukking over their players as usual. He eve had statistics that showed how and where he lined up in his favor.
And still couldn't get a ruling in his favor.

 

[Big Blue]

He's listed on the roster as a TE, then he's a TE. TE were always eligible to split out thus the number of times he was in a two point stance doesn't change his position.

How are you gonna call yourself a TE on Twitter, and expect to win arbitration?

 

[distinguishedNOW]

Glad. Let that nikka sulk all year as far as I'm concerned.

 

[concise]

So, they gonna line him up to do more run-blocking this year or nah?

Probably not. What'd be the point? They already won the ruling and Yimmy is trash at blocking.

fukk the ruling the Saints need to pay him what he is worth.

 

[mozichrome]

he's a TE

 

[Heelmatic]

You pay the man what he's worth. Saints use him as a WR, so they should pay him as a WR.

 

[Trojan 24]

NFL just won't let Cacs eat these days

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

dont mind the ruling. saints should be paying him more..the franchise tag was just a ploy to keep more money available. smart from a team perspective short term...i think jimmy has more of a right to be pissed at them not paying him in general than the ruling...

You pay the man what he's worth. Saints use him as a WR, so they should pay him as a WR.

Exactly, it's about basic fairness. Sure, by legal/technical terms the Saints may be right, but that's not how you treat your best receiver. He is quite obviously Drew Brees' favorite target, it's not like we're talking about Kenny Stills or some shyt. Pay the man

 

[Creeper]

Fukk the title. He produces WR numbers so pay him like one.

 

[AVXL]

He's a bytchass nikka & so are the Saints

With that said, the ruling was fair especially since he considers himself a TE. What's next, Shady & Darren Sproles asking for top 5 WR money b/c they catch more passes outta the backfield than they do traditional running ?

shyt is silly

 

[Easy-E]

The Saints better win it all, next year, because he's not comin' back.
