Jimmy Graham return in 2018?

MatthewT · 10-25-2017, 12:12 PM

The high dollar paydays for Graham should be over, if that is the case the Saints should make every effort into signing him. I do not like him as a starting TE, but would love him in a reserve roll for special packages/situations. Could easily be a major red zone threat for the Saints. If anyone could get him to come back, it would be Drew Brees.

Not overly keen to be honest
His hands looked terrible at the weekend. But for a 6/7th rounder he would at least give a good red zone option

I would agree if there was a young TE he would hold back.
But the TE are pretty poor and i think Fleener is a restructure or cut come march

Other than he played here before, why would we be in the mix to acquire a 30 year old with declining skills at a position where we have three decent players?

Throw in bad blood, and I'm guessing NO

not that I'm saying "NFL World" isn't a reliable site

After watching him drop 2 catchable pass in a contract year, I don't think he is focus or football is not up their as a priority. He just don't look as hungry for the game anymore.

I'm not 'all excited' to bring him back for sure, but I suspect Jimmy got to Seattle all excited and realized he made a grave miscalculation.

Completely unsourced speculation.

Fake News.
