Nothing at all wrong with him taking money into account when looking for a job at his age. It is a job. These guys are professionals and finding a job that gets you the maximum amount of money is just life. Why should he not consider money? You guys act like these players owe the fans too much.

And yea I like the idea. We need another passing threat that can block as well. The more protection for Brees the better. I like the versatility of a TE. I think people tend to not take tight ends blocking under consideration when they think about that position now that the they have developed more in the passing game over the years.
That being said can he block?

A whole lot better than what we saw in Jimmy Dickens. Saw Gresham on Hard Knocks a few years ago ... during the Oklahoma drills, this guy was a monster. Big, strong and powerful.

From what I have read, he can "whiff" on his blocks but on other times, he is completely dominant.

josh hill will clearly take advantage of this situation with jimmy grahm gone. bring in greshum if they like but hill will take over, watch him.

Re: Saints have offered the 27-year-old Gresham a contract.
 

I agree, but... We need insurance. We're pretty darn thin at TE. Hill is an emerging star but Watson is on his last legs and beyond them... Orson Charles? Jack Tabb?? We need another veteran TE.

AGREE, but didn't we sign some talent after the draft or just camp bodies?

Re: Saints have offered the 27-year-old Gresham a contract.
 

That's pretty much it: Josh Hill, Ben Watson, Orson Charles and Jack Tabb. Pretty underwhelming. It's basically Ben Watson and then a bunch of couple of undrafted guys who have never started for a full NFL season.

This is great news!!!!

Re: Saints have offered the 27-year-old Gresham a contract.
 

Of course we offered him a contract. But I'm sure the amount fit our value of him and not his value of himself.

Personally I'd like to see him here. But I won't blame him if he goes to AZ for more money.

another option:
Chris Cooley, former Washington Redskins tight end, would welcome return to NFL
