Payton Expects Jimmy Graham's Deal Before April 22 Grievance Deadline
(3/26 9:38 PT)

The Facts:
Following up on the ongoing story. ... The NFL continues to be a deadline driven business, and the looming deadline for Graham’s grievance regarding his franchise-tag designation continues to be the deadline that will drive a likely long-term deal for him. “I think you hit it on the head yesterday,” HC Sean Payton told PFT Live on Tuesday, referring to our item explaining that a deal is likely before April 22. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio explains, the labor deal gives Graham 50 days to challenge the belief that he’s a tight end for tag purposes, from the March 3 application of the franchise tag. While $5.2 million on a one-year deal hangs in the balance, Graham’s camp (as Florio understands it) intends to attempt to fashion an argument that erroneous application of the tag invalidates it, making Graham a free agent. As Payton said, it’s not likely to happen. It sounds like all involved (including fantasy football owners) will have resolution before then.
