TE Juwan Johnson re-signs with Saints

MatthewT · 03-10-2022, 03:34 PM

I made a comment about Jimmy Graham and I think what I wrote confused a couple of people. I said "I would like the Saints to bring back Jimmy Graham if he becomes available, he could be valuable as a 3rd option and as a red zone threat".

What I am talking about is bringing him back as a back up 3rd TE, and mainly use him in the red zone. I would never envision him being anything more than a part time specialty player at this point in his career.

I also found a couple of old articles that could shed some light on how he felt about being tagged as a TE, and the 3rd article is how it could have been interpreted that he may have given up on plays. I don't really recall at this point if he made so called "business decisions" in his final year or not, that is a very long time ago.

Yeah. That third article was written the Spring prior to his final season with the Saints, way before the NFLPA versus NFL deal ever happened. He had been labeled soft by some for years due to a perceived lack of physicality. He may have been soft, but he was the best in the game for a stretch.

JJ can be a productive #2 or #3 TE. He was an UDFA who is still in the NFL after switching positions. I'm proud of him. You go boy!

Thought I'd throw y'all a curveball with this one. Social media is doing a terrific job in exacerbating the demise of our culture.
This is why us lunch pail guys have it better than many celebrities.
