Drew is always very politically correct in his statements to the media. This just seems like something Drew could have side stepped.

This.

Listen to any athlete speak and they always mention two lines that should never be crossed: You don't mess with a teammate's girl, and you don't discuss another guy's money. Even if in Brees' mind, Graham's contract never came up when he was asked that question, he's gotta know better. He's smarter than that. All of his teammates had his back when he wanted his payday, he needs to do the same. Even if its as simple as a "no comment."

I think this is especially true in Graham's case fwiw. NOBODY rides Drew's dick harder than Graham...so to speak. Dude never misses an opportunity to tell the world how in love he is with Brees and how he's the best QB in the league.
