Rest easy Saints fans, Jimmy Graham has confirmed that he will continue to be black and gold!
It’s a win-win situation. Long-term deals have now been agreed before the 16:00 deadline for franchise players. The New Orleans Saints have made Jimmy Graham the highest paid TE in NFL history with a 4 year, $40 million contract and $21 million guaranteed, who needs to be a WR when you make only one?
After a rollercoaster of offseasons with franchise labels, negotiations, and appeals – they were both finally happy. What an excellent day to be a Saints fan. We all must agree, it is well deserved. Graham led the league with 16 touchdowns, caught 86 passes for 1,215 yards and may I point out, that was as a result of a torn plantar fascia.
Now excuse me while I put on my number 80 jersey for the day and scream “WHO DAT!”
