re: Alleged Graham Locker-room Tidbit

I just found a blogged article that references a recent Chris Mortensen Insider's report (I looked for but can't find a link to the source video):

Again, no real evidence here, just additional smoke, this time, not just from some Saints Talk posters in this thread, but apparently from an ESPN reporter as well (who has at times been accurate with inside info.)

Mortensen stated that there were reports that Jimmy was a locker room disruption, and that he wasn’t too happy about receiving the money as a TE, instead of the money he would have gotten had he gotten his wish and been designated as a WR before last season when he tried to argue against being designated a TE in contract negotiations.

Then came the real bit of a shocker that for me personally, is another reason to consider why Graham got traded.
Mortensen reported that it had been said that Graham “didn’t like to get hit or ‘touched’ in practice.

There were interesting comments coming from Brees and Streif all season but people didn't pay attention because they were so focused on the disappointment on the field.

We don't need evidence of him not wanting to be hit or touched in practice. Just watch the games. He alligator arms all the time and ALWAYS turns his head too early when he feels a hit coming which is why he had a problem with drops. It's on tape for everyone to see.
He also gets up and gets confrontational every time he takes a hard hit. Hey Jimmy it's part of the game. Can't get mad at the other guy for doing his job unless he is doing it dirty.
He loved hitting other guys but couldn't get what he gave.
I loved Jimmy. Dude was a beast especially when healthy. Down right dominant. But there's no denying he acted like a diva and was becoming injury prone. A legit nfl guy(forgot his name but I think I posted the link in another thread) said he heard from people in the Saints that they were worried he wouldn't finish out his contract because his body was breaking down.
Yeah I know it was reported we were trying to trade a receiver (Stills) for Unger first, but it's clear we were ready to move on from Stills and Graham.
