And exactly what is this supposed "trolling" that you claim to have read? The ONLY thing he ever posted related to the Saints was when he congratulated Akiem Hicks about his trade to the Patriots:

“feel blessed u got out of there. Time to go shine big dog. All the best. Good luck.”
Hicks was floundering, as was most of the defense, with the fiasco introduced by Rob Ryan. Ryan was fired a little over a month later.

Agree with this
All the players know its a business decision

I never blamed Jimmy for being pissed
He could have not signed a deal and moved to a team of his choosing but the team told him they wanted him and traded him 12 months later. I would be pissed if id planned to spend X number of years in a city and started planting routes then got traded 2500 miles away to live in the rain

This happens everyday to people in every industry getting re-located. It''s actually much worse for them because they are likely not multi-millionaires so his rants on social media at the time were petty. Think he said something along the lines of "eff" that team or something referring to the Saints.

It was many moons ago so meh...the bad blood has likely run its course but fans at the time remember him blowing up over something that is fairly common. He sounded like a pansy.

Graham NEVER said anything of the sort. Use your Google tool and you'll find out that what you stated is completely false.

He kinda did:

The Seahawks tight end sent new Patriots defensive lineman Akiem Hicks a message on Twitter congratulating him on his trade out of New Orleans.
feel blessed u got out of there,” Graham wrote to Hicks.

Graham quickly deleted the message, but it was
by Christopher Dabe of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, proving yet again that the Internet is forever.

Re: Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

JG's production as a Seahawk beat out all the TEs we have on board. He can still play at a high level. If he gets signed we know the hard feelings weren't really that hard. I still expect another team to pay above what we would offer if we even do.

Re: Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

I really wouldn't mind seeing him back. As long as we don't over pay. And as long as Brees remembers we have other players that can catch the ball...one of which is a stud named Michael Thomas. So forcing it to JG every other play is stupid.

Re: Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

Trust me I want Graham back but all these reports and rumors are starting to make me think it's not going to happen, Payton gives the media ZERO info so where they getting all this "speculation" from?

From Cam Jordan tweets and general speculation. The definition of "speculation" is the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence.

Re: Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

His old teammates seem to want him back and that is enough for me as long as he can produce.
