Things have been heading this way for quite some time now but Adam Schefter is reporting that the New Orleans Saints will use the franchise tag on TE Jimmy Graham:
No great surprise, but the Saints will use their franchise tag on tight end Jimmy Graham before Monday’s deadline, per a league source.

Now we will have to see what Graham does considering he was not very fond of the idea of being tagged and wants WR money.
