CSC: If cut, Saints should welcome Jimmy Graham home with open arms

I'd be happy if we got him at a reasonable rate. But I won't lose any sleep over not getting him, especially since we need a pass rusher (high dollar) and some LB's

I seriously doubt Jimmy would even consider it if it was on the table. He was steamed pretty good about a couple of issues and had an uncommon amount of anger towards the Saints management. Those folks are still there.

Once again, where are you getting this? Show me anywhere that Graham had an uncommon amount of anger towards management. You too have google. Beyond a couple of on field exchanges between him and Payton over his costing the Saints 15 yards for a TD dunk, there isn't any.

SP makes the personnel decisions and obviously wasn't happy with Graham's play and/or attitude. Saw max value at the time and made a great trade.

You don't just up and trade an All-Pro player based on something minor.

On the comeback option, pass.
We have the top-ranked offense. Unless they allow another ball on the field he won't add enough to justify 10 million a year

Would love to see him and Fleener. Be a tough one to afford though

I think he would come back in a heartbeat. Most dominant to non-existent in the span of 2 years. He wants to be productive like he was in NO.

Jimmy has outlived his usefulness in New Orleans. We got a top notch center and a first round pick I believe which ain't bad for a third round draft pick.iirc

I like the idea of drafting a TE that fits the system who can catch and block. Of course we need good position coaches to make that happen. There are a couple of TE's I've looked at that feel like a good fit with our system and Sean Payton.

I would love to have him back but I would pass on the 10 mill.

New Orleans had to get rid of 2/3 of the team last time to meet his salary! This man is not producing on the football field! New Orleans has to find a Defense & the Saints are still trying to put a Offense back together because his not producing! And we need him back?
