Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

He is going to cost 7 million ? Great redzone target. I would pursue Trey Burton for the same money. He is an all around talent and younger less wear and tear.

Who the hell knows what he would cost? Most likely a minimal amount as affects the 2018 cap. Signing bonus and low base salary.

All I can say is that the 10 TD's he scored in the redzone last year was better than any of our receivers, especially TE's.

Don’t post much and have not posted in a long while, but I need to point out some facts for those who prefer Trey Burton over bringing back Jimmy.

Jimmy is 6’6”, Trey is 6’ 2”

Jimmy has a 38” vertical jump, Trey has a 30” vertical

Jimmy runs a 4.56 40, Trey runs a 4.62 40

Jimmy had 10 tds last year, Trey has 7 tds I’ve the last 3 years

Jimmy knows the offense and has played with Brees, Trey hasn’t

I don’t even think it’s a question who is the more valuable weapon. Burton is Josh Hill 2.0, I do not want the Saints to get into a bidding war with half the league over a backup tight end who may or may not work out. Go with the proven commodity, Drew doesn’t have time to wait for an unproven talent.
