He favorited this tweet in particular..

@RobEmminkJr: If I'm @TheJimmyGraham I can't wait for this season to be over so I can sign on the dotted line somewhere that RESPECTS me

Could mean nothing, could mean everything.

Everyone's gonna turn this into Saints hate time, but everyone fails to recognize the organization had nothing to do with hearing or ruling.

The guy will likely get more than 10mil+ a year. It would make him by far the highest paid TE. If he bitches about that, he can go.

Does it though? It's the only thing he's done since the decision.

The only thing it means is the organization knows what Jimmy does, doesn't do, and how much they are willing to pay for him. Every player does this sort of thing when there's a contract situation, and now that the arbitration nonsense is (almost) over, he is resorting to the age-old media campaign. Nothing to see here. As the season approaches he'll have less and less leverage, ultimately resulting in a contract, a nice dinner including Graham's agent, Graham, Loomis, and other women in various stages of undress.

Jimmy can get mad all he wants. If he doesn't want to sign a long term deal because the money, then we will tender him next year too. Saints have the leverage now.

the organization supports Jimmy just fine, they just don't agree with his stance on how he should be categorized/paid.

Emmink is an idiot.

How can offering to make someone the highest paid TE ever a sign of disrespect???

GRAHAM is the one who filed this appeal, not the Saints.
