Jimmy makes his money because he is a dominating red zone performer. While I still believe his overall skills leave a lot to be desired, there is no doubt about his ability to catch passes in tight spots. With that said I am still on the fence regarding the big long term contract, but since that was done I do not see a situation that would warrant him being traded. Even on a full rebuild, which you should know the Saints will not do until Brees is gone, I would think he would be considered an asset while rebuilding a team.

Once a player starts having significant injuries (feet, shoulders, knees) in quick succession, there are a couple of problems besides the obvious.

1- Trying to come back to quickly
2- Practice does not involve repetition of proper techniques
3- Severity of prior injuries requires physiomechanical adjustments that set up future injuries.

This appears to be a big trend for Graham. He has been seriously injured each of the last 3 seasons. It may be that his future impact may be compromised, opening up the possibility for a trade to get max value before he becomes unable to play and the contract is dead money.

I actually like this idea. Of course this whole thread is a fairy tale, so here's mine. Jimmy Graham for Le'Vontae David, straight up.

We missed our chance for this before his contract.

No doubt. Just look at the 2014 Cowgirls. There is a reason Demarco Murray is rushing for 100+ yards just about every week.

No doubt... Say what you will about Dallas. However they look good atm.

Rule #1, don't watch NFL network.

I wish we would have made him play for tag money. We wouldn't have to worry about his ailments or a big contract. Loomis screwed the pooch on this 1 but it's not his first in overpaying players or keeping them well past their use.
