Jimmy Graham return in 2018?

He's not coming back and I don't want him back. He was a novelty - a one-trick pony. He was good at his one trick but a liability on the field otherwise.

IMO, it is Graham's fault he isn't still with the Saints!

If Graham had blocked like 99.99% of TEs do, and he hadn't tried to squeeze more money out of the Saints when he knew we were in cap hell, the Saints would have probably let Drew walk before him!

I don't think I got it across right but that is what I meant. I expect he will just stay in Seattle. But the negatives are there which could make him less of a hot item in FA and few teams would know how to use him properly as a mismatch receiver. NE could go after him too. We wound up with AP and Ben Watson so I wouldn't count anything out, especially if we make the playoffs this season. It's still one heck of a trick.

I like Graham. He's very talented, very tall, can run fast, can jump
high, and he exercises every day. Can yall say that?

It's just that Drew forgets anyone else can catch his passes when Jimmy's on the field. Other than that and his getting injured more and more frequently, I have no problem with him.

And no I can't do a lot of what he can, but I'd bet he'd be pretty lost in doing what I do as well.

We need a TE not a WR. Jimmy wants to be a WR. He's not even worth considering. Burned bridges and all that.........
