Wouldn't it be interesting if we Draft Ebron or Amaro? Then rescind the FT on Saturday.

Wouldn't mind Ebron but we will get nothing but a 3rd rounder at best next year doing that.

? You mean compensatory pick... I'm not concerned with that.

Why didn't Vrabel think of this?

I know y'all will take me to the wood shed but I hope we trade him. Lets face it, JG is JG because of Drew. Sure, he is a great TE but what would he be in Oakland or Jax? Preform a sign and trade and move on. Secure the future in the draft and save some money. JG will want 10 mil a year and I just do not see him being worth it. Drew can make do with what TE's the team already has and they can draft one in a very deep TE draft. Take 3picks in this draft and draft Ebron.

This crap is getting old. I just dont see how we can afford him.

No one player is more important than the team. Not Drew Brees, not Jimmy Graham. Still, I'd stand firm on 2 first rounders for Jimmy and not one penny less. As for Jimmy, he can play for the tag and play for it again next year too I believe or he can sit until the Saints trade him. Personally, I see this huge dude that can't block, can't stand up to Safties or CB's and gets taken out of important game way too easily. It's one thing to dominate the lesser teams, but if you're all that, you should dominate the good teams too. Sorry, but to me Jimmy isn't worth WR money and is barely worth the top TE money until I see him dominate anyone he plays and he should because of his measurables. If we didn't have to tag him, I'd offer him 5-6 mil a year till he proved himself.
