Hopefully this will light a fire under JG to come to a compromise.

Re: Drew Brees ready to go with or without Jimmy Graham
It is not Jimmy who needs a fire lit. It is his agent and Mickey Loomis and that fire is not scheduled to be lit until the deadline of July 15th. Don't forget that the Brees deal in 2012was not finalized until a couple of days before that year's deadline. This is the nature of contract negotiation.

The Saints would want to fit as much of the deal under the current year's cap as possible while still leaving room for maneuvering to deal with injuries and such.
There was, however, speculation from some media outlets that a deal was likely in the range of $10M-$11M per year. |

Re: Drew Brees ready to go with or without Jimmy Graham
Theres no WR in team but there is TE
His production would be hard to replace if he left but our offense rolled before he got here, if it needs to it can do again Jimmy is a great player but it was embarrassing to see him shouting at seahawks players prior to the playoff game and then finishing with like 1 catch for 7 yards, got to back it up if you wanna talk smack |

Re: Drew Brees ready to go with or without Jimmy Graham
The bright side is our backups are getting lots of reps. That can only help down the road.
I want Drew to have that comfort level with Cooks that he has with Jimmy. Don't forget that Coleman has some good height himself. |
