If he's cheap why not. He's familiar with system and has to be an upgrade over what we have. I agree about the burned bridges part. Didn't he say something on twitter about happy to be leaving Saints? Could have been someone else telling him that he should be. I can't remember. Anyway I don't think Seattle ever used him to his strengths. |

Re: Jimmy Graham return in 2018?
Nope, guy burned his bridges here when he kept congratulating players for signing with other teams.
Shame, he could have been a hall of famer here. Our offense is better without him regardless. |

Re: Jimmy Graham return in 2018?
Where is the bad blood? From everything I have read he would love to be back with the Saints and he is still very, very tight with Brees.

Now, I don't think Sean and Drew were as bothered as some of us were about his comments. Business is business after all. |

I wouldn't mind him being back as another weapon if he learned anything about blocking while he was abroad. |

Re: Jimmy Graham return in 2018?
I just remember him saying in one of his press conferences; that as soon as Drew retired that he would quit because he didn't want anyone else throwing to him...
He was traded shortly thereafter; then he had to learn how to block |

Re: Jimmy Graham return in 2018?
All the fans that will b1tch about his commemts on the way out need to remember he never asked to leave. Signed a big deal thinking he would be here long term and gets traded. Also those shouting the loudest will soon pipe down and sing his praises if he caught the game winning TD in Atlanta
