Brees says Jimmy is a TE


Jimmy posts a message on Facebook half an hour ago that just says, "Wooow!"

Should Brees keep his mouth shut on the issue?

I felt the same way during the season, but it is weird to see the reactions between the two men.

Jimmy has always had nothing but praise for Brees. I think Jimmy will be designated as a TE as well, but in a time when Graham is trying to ink his own deal, why is Drew getting involved?

This could very well be in response to Brees, but I hate when an athlete posts something on Social Media and everyone assumes it's related to their career. These guys have lives outside of football. I do wish, however, that Brees stays out of the discussion, especially 2 years removed from his own contract battle.

Sounds like Brees not biting the hand that feeds. Smart man.

I dont see a problem with what Drew said, Jimmy IS a TE. They say so on Fox every game during introductions.

Sounds like someone asked him: "Is Jimmy Graham a Tight End or a Receiver"?

The truthful and correct answer is Tight End. If Graham wants receiver money for the franchise tag, that's his business, but don't expect Drew to bend the truth or flat out lie when he's asked a simple question.

Exactly. If he was saying Jimmy shouldn't have a problem with the franchise tag then he's out of bounds but this is nothing.

True, but it is a loaded question. Obviously, Jimmy is a TE from all previous position assessments. Why would anyone need to ask what position he is? What does it state on his All Pro selection this year?

It has been leaked that Jimmy's camp is seeking WR money. It is a possible point of contention in the negotiations with the team.

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

This wasn't some out of the blue no context question and Drew knows that.
You don't need to LIE just deflect the question and let your fellow player work their deal out.

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.

Graham needs to grow a pair. He is a tight end. Just because he is only as tough as a receiver doesn't make Him one
