well okie dokie

So no invite for Jimmy when the round table convenes.

Graham has a right to his opinion with his employer, but to his employer not the entire world. You're paid to play. If you have an issue bring to your boss. Respect gets respect.

This is what winning teams have to do in order to keep winning
look at new England think they never let good players go

It's not getting paid or whether he's earned it or neaux, it's the BS Twitter comment - See Subject Title...

Stills and Moore do not equate at all. I completely understand letting Moore go but Kenny Stills doesn't replace his skill-set as a razor-sharp route runner with amazing hands. Stills is more of a deep threat at the moment. Will he develop into a more complete WR? We'll see.

I don't know what we'll do about the RB situation. Part of me wants to sign Dexter McCluster to replace Sproles, but at the same time I agree that we have become far too predictable with how we use our RB's and just signing a different guy to do what Sproles did might not help our offense at all.

Man, I don't know what the hell this team will look like next season... I'm excited by the changes but kind of scared at the same time.

What I'm saying is IF you cut Bunkley depth is still needed behind Jenkins. If restructure isn't an option, there are several FA DT/NT on the market.

And yes, Stills season (32 catches, 641yds, 5 td) is actually BETTER than Moore's (37 catches, 457 yds and 2 td).

Sean thrives on mismatches so I expect a different look this year - to your point, not another Sproles type back.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Twitter is the dumbest thing an athlete can express him/her self on.
Just shut up Jimmy. Do what you are told to do and play football.
Remember that YOU haven't brought NOLA a Super Bowl. The people you are "Disappointed in", they did that. By taking chances on people. They took a chance on a "Broken" QB and that seemed to workout ok. They are also the people who took a chance on a basketball player who only played football for a couple of years.

My advice to you jimmy is to shut your mouth.

.

Yes.
You cannot cut Bunkley, only restructure. Cutting him leaves you with almost 5 million in dead money, and no player. Then you have 1.3 mil left from his deal to sign someone.

I am starting to hate JG more and more. He is shocked? How about not asking for 12 mil and we could keep some people. JG is a awesome player but I would trade him now. Get what you can.

Hate is a bit strong of an emotion man. Believe me, I understand the frustration... Hell, I started this topic because I was completely dumbfounded by his comment when I saw it. This is just a crazy time and I just don't want us to get too carried away with the Jimmy Graham bashing. We have to just trust Loomis.
