this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; We need a TE that can catch and block. I don't know why but that seems to be a pretty rare animal....

Re: Jimmy Graham likely to leave Seattle in free agency
Hill is a blocking TE. And he's damn good at it. He is one of several guys that deserve some credit for the season MI and Kamara have had.
I don't get all the hate on the guy. |

Re: Jimmy Graham likely to leave Seattle in free agency
I don't hate him at all. I like him on the roster, but he hasn't taken the next step...is what he is I suppose.

Re: Jimmy Graham likely to leave Seattle in free agency
Agree. I think he’s an above average backup TE. He’s not a Greg Olsen but he’s probably as good or better than most #2 TEs

Re: Jimmy Graham likely to leave Seattle in free agency
I don't think we can cut Fleener without taking too much of a cap hit this year.......so pick a good one in the draft.

Winners usually mean the more talented player/difference maker. Nothing against Hill, Houswhatchamaclic etc but the Saints desperately need more talent at the TE position. Period. |

Re: Jimmy Graham likely to leave Seattle in free agency
Jimmy would be great to have back. He isn’t going to get the big contract, he has proven that without Drew he isn’t worth that money. We would be significantly better if he were in the team right now. Imagine actually having 2 receiving threats.

With our much-improved cap situation, smart money is he's gone I don't think JG is going to see a buyer's market. Might be able to get him in the two year for $12 million range. Throw some incentives in and let him retire with Drew |
