The player has to agree to do it that way though. He likely learned from Brees to wait until the last minute to maximize your money.

Again it could have been bull shite coming from Jimmy trying to maintain good public PR but when I talked with him during that years offseason he said he was getting low balled because Loomis was using his injuries from 2012 as a negotiating point.(basically only 1 year of top TE production from 2011)

Said he wanted a deal similar to Gronk and would have signed something along those lines because of the security. I think Jimmy's rookie deal averaged around 350K a year.

He mentioned a comment that Drew used to tell him presnap about leading him in the middle. He said its either going to be a big play...or a missed opportunity. "your big...you can take it". I thought it was funny but you could see on his face he was actually kind of sad even talking about it.

I think if he had a deal that was right he would have signed it because of things like how he was used in our offense. Jimmy used to take some monster shots...I don't think he would "bet" on himself.

agree that it is no bargain but I feel great about investing in him. He is dominant and still improving. Good dude and character from all I have ever read.

Armstead and Graham were both grand slam swinging for the fences on upside potential picks. The FO has earned enough cred from me to wait 'n see for picks like Onyemata before criticizing.

In my estimation, small school talents are improving each year (see Wentz). Glad the Saints are among the leaders in mining talent away from the big school beaten path.
