Saints could lose Jimmy Graham with non-exclusive tag

Rugby Saint II · 03-02-2014, 11:08 AM

It is looking less and less like we can afford him.

The Saints have had 15 TE's in the Payton era, what's one more?

I like our backups. They will not put up JG numbers but they will not get JG money either. May just be time to cut him loose. 2 rd 1's from the right team would be awesome. We could resign Zach and DLP with money left over. This could be the start of multiple Superbowls.

I would not pay over 8.5 a year for him. He said before that as long as Drew is a Saint than he will be also. Lets call him on it.

The Pats would not bulldoze their cap with a similar signing... Why should we?

The Pats currently have the highest paid TE in the NFL. The diff is they have significantly less money tied up at QB.

I'd send his huge contract to another team for 1 more first round draft pick, if we got a top 10 pick and then pick at 27 I'd be happy to send him packing

we won a superbowl without him

Sorry but if some team offers us two first rounders for him and the FO doesn't take it they are idiots.
