New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has revealed that he has been given the franchise tag by his club, keeping him under contract for another season.
The 27-year-old's deal with the club was due to expire when the current league year ends in March, but by placing the tag on the All-Pro the Saints can keep him for another season at a price of around $6m (£3.5m).
Graham wrote on Twitter: "Confirming it's officially Franchisefriday... TAG ... I guess I'm it..."
The tight end had admitted that he wouldn't be pleased to be designated with the tag.
