Updating an ongoing story, New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham’s grievance case over being franchise tagged as a tight end instead of a wide receiver is yet to be resolved. The arbitrator, Stephen Burbank, concluded two separate rulings this year in less than a week each. NFLPA communications director Carl Francis said a decision shouldn’t take much longer. The deadline for a ruling is July 15.
Footballguys View: No matter how long it takes, this shouldn’t impact his going to training camp or preseason. Graham is a huge part of this offense whatever position he ‘plays’ and is our unanimous overall TE1 and many on the staff feel as if he is a borderline top ten fantasy pick overall.
