His saying this might actually be part of the process of getting a new contract, it always takes som posturing and it is sure to only increase his popularity among the fans.

...thus his value as trade bait.

He's peaking too early. And has been injured. He'll never finish as a Saint.

Just calling it like I see it. I love Jimmy Graham playing for the Saints.

Alaska - You may be on the money with this. There is a reason the Saints do not generally rip up contracts in mid term. Injury is a major factor, and you are right, Graham has a back issue. Let him play out his current contract and we shall see what tomorrow brings.

Trade for whom? For what? (ok, I channeled Ricky Waters, but I digress).

Dude's arguably the best TE in the NFL. As for "peaking too early", I don't get it. You want to wait 5 years down the road so he "peaks"?
