Understood, but I couldn't let that happen to me. I owned him last year in two FFLs.

If he dunks one more time Sean Payton should make sure JG doesn't get the ball while in the red zone. Take away his touchdown opportunities and eliminate the opportunity to dunk and hurt the team. Probably impact an incentive clause in his contract specific to touchdowns scored.

Jesus you're acting like he is a drug addict getting his fix.
If it takes anymore than a simple talk by the coach, he has a serious problem

My point exactly. The coach has spoken. If he does not comply then action is necessary. He will be showing that he is selfish and puts himself above the team and that is unacceptable.

Chump change for Graham, but that isn't how champions act. Stupid rule? Don't care, it's a rule.

He just got a $10M a year contract primarily because of his Red Zone success and you want to not throw him the ball? OK.
Something tells me that the league fines will increase in a substantial way if he does it again.

Graham gets fined for dunking but Manziel can throw the bird and not get fined.

Would Graham have been penalized if he handed the ball to the ref and then did a dry dunk? (jumped up like he's dunking, but no ball). the ruling is using the ball as a prop.
Or alternatively, jumped up and dunked the ball, but far away from the goal? (essentially a jumping spike). Here the ball is a prop, just that the goal post is in no danger.

It will piss me off if he does it now after being told not to by Payton. It was a preseason game and it was the first home game.
It became an issue when the entire team got penalized over and over again. He's new to being a leader on this team and made an error in judgement on the second slam.
If he does it in the next game or in the regular season when we aren't up by 20+, then it will become an issue.
He's been nothing short of a great team player and a class act throughout his time in Nola

To put this fine into perspective, this would be like someone who makes $100,000 a year getting fined $330

One could argue that it is actually less than that since he makes far over what living expenses cost

It must suck to hate the guy that's gonna catch close to half our passing TDs this season.
It was a preseason game...not a big deal...the second was pretty stupid on his part, but still, not a big deal....If y'all really think he would do it when it matters after Payton told him not to, I don't know what to tell you...that's not Graham.

Graham's 20 TDs far outweigh the "hurt" from a few celebration penalties (that he won't get in the regular season).
