Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Love what ya did for us Jimmy but....
I’d rather have Trey Burton or pick from a bevy of draft talent.
Besides they way you left and what you said after leaving was all I needed to hear.

Well I didn’t really expect that. I thought it was just the media making stuff up.

Personally I really don't care how some are bent out of shape by media twisted dissing of the Saints by Graham. All I know is that he remained a friend of Brees and is still a respected player. If you as fans are bent out of shape it doesn't matter at all. Get over it. Get real.

Were his worss twisted? Was the holdout for record money twisted? Was the precipitous drop in production without Brees twisted?

If not, the only thing I’d be bent out of shape over is missing out on a more talented TE by signing Graham instead.

Everyone relax. He was ticked off because he was traded out of the blue. We all would be mad too. Now, I still don’t want him back at a hefty price tag.

saintfan · 03-05-2018, 07:02 PM

I'm warming up. I really did not like how he left.

It's a business tho, and winning championships is the name of the game. To that end a whole lot can be forgiven.

I'd welcome him back with open arms I guess, but we're paying him like a TE and he needs to get over it...

I'll promise this: Tampa, Atlanta, and Carolina are sure hoping Jimmy isn't back in black and gold.

Seattle does not want him.... why would we?

Why miss a non blocking TE the Hawks could never use right?
He dropped enough passes and he took plays off ..
There are ways to cover losing him such as running better
and resting the D more..This leads to all good things

He is going to cost 7 million ? Great redzone target. I would pursue Trey Burton for the same money. He is an all around talent and younger less wear and tear.

Not sure what a "worss" is.

And he never held out for record money. Get your facts straight. The NFLPA used his declaration as a TE as opposed to a WR to present a test case to the league. It had nothing what so ever to do with any record breaking attempt at anything.

And, no, the precipitous drop had everything to do with being misused by Seattle.
