He is arguably the best tight end/weapon in the NFL. Everyone has a bad game, even Drew Brees, would you trade Drew for to 1st round picks.

Don't forget the contributions this guy has delivered for this team, don't have short term memory, the good way surpasses the bad as far as Jimmy goes.

This is not even a decision, do what you have to do to keep this guy on the team. He only makes us better period.

We love Graham and all but he isn't even close to being the best weapon in the NFL. He is an ok TE and a good but not great wr.

He's a top 2 TE with a mountain of upside. More thank Gronk - way more.

Don't fool yourself, this kid is still learning, growing and maturing.

If he sticks with Sean Payton (which he will) you'll see that development faster!
