I believe you forgot a few games he listed there? Jimmy"Puddin" Graham is nothing more than a product of Paytons system. Prime example Meachum to the Chargers and "got paid well" and then released. Puddin not showing up in games were bad enough this year without top money, why pay top dollar to a guy when other teams know how to take him out of the game, it wasn't like he was triple teamed like a Calvin Johnson or always double teamed Vernon Davis. Teams loose players in FA each and every year(FA market) it would be no different with Graham, and as much as Brees uses him as a crutch I feel it would only help the team as a whole to let him walk.

Despite all the games Graham "disappeared in" he still had a 1000 yard season, which is something like less than 5 TEs have ever done. And Graham's already done it twice in his very young career. He is the best TE in the game, it's really not a debate. And he's not a product of Payton's system. He's a 6'7 TE with insane speed and athleticism at the position. He could put up 1K seasons wherever he goes.

There were some games this year he didn't put up the stats, but he also dealt with a lingering injury. Let's not forget he's still pretty new to the game of football. He's only played it in organized fashion for four years. He still has a lot of room to grow, which is insane to think about.

We'd be crazy to let him walk away. Thankfully our front office seems to agree with me.
