Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't know... I never really agreed with the general consensus that Graham couldn't block. He wasn't the best at it or the most willing to do it, but all-in-all, he was a capable blocker when called upon. I'd be ...

I'd be really happy if he came back on a affordable contract.

Mike Alstott couldn't block either. I'd still have liked to have had him.

If we weren't already paying Fleener starting salary then I could warm up to the idea.

Fleener will be post June 1 cut saving a few million. Won’t impact a potential graham signing.

Didn't the Saints FO just pay Fleener 3M a few weeks ago?

Not that I know of. Where did you see that?

Edit: Take that back. $3.8M of his $6.3M 2018 salary guaranteed on 2/7/2018. I was away on a cruise and totally missed that. Thanks!

It’s business and anything outside of that is nothing more than drama. Business is centered around the perception of value.

We seem to have changed lanes so to speak as a team and if Drew and Sean see Jimmy as a good fit and providing VALUE (cost vs preformamce) then who am I to second guess that?

Although it's hard to tell, last time JG was here Brees spread the ball around less than usual. Brees even would throw to him when teams were doubling him.
