The thing I'm wondering is can Jimmy refuse to field offer from teams? Sure. shite doesn't go down until he actually signs an offer with another team. If he has a team he doesn't want to play for comes in with the best offer of $11m/yr while the Saints are offering $10m/yr, he could go ahead and sign with us if he wants.


Technically there is another option of the Saints trading him, right? If traded he would have no say.

No team is going to trade for him without his signing a long term contract first. The only way that I can see the Saints "trading" him (as opposed to a letting him walk for the 2 first round picks) is if a team like Cleveland says "We're not giving up #4, but we're going to offer him more than you can afford after the draft and give up our two firsts in 2015/16, or you can take the Colts pick and our second right now." Something like that. I really think that the Saints value Graham at ~2 first round picks, so they won't accept something less like the Chiefs did with Jared Allen.

Yeah as thrill touched on he has a huge say in where he gets traded if he gets traded, unless the team doesn't mind a one year rental and an unhappy player.
