Re: Saints interested in reunion with Jimmy Graham

Jimmy Dickens - 34 1st downs & 10 TD's in a run 1st offense up in Seattle. Even at 32 years old, that's big time production. Imagine him back w/NO & Brees. He doesn't have to be "the man", just a red zone night mare & 3rd down target.
Remember in that Vikings playoff game, we could have sealed their fate if we would have only converted a 1st late in the game. I think Jimmy can help this team get over the hump offensively ... specifically in the red zone and on 3rd downs. Nick Underhill & a few other credible sources think the interest to return is mutual. If it makes sense (financially), he needs to come back & help us win another title. It's been too long  .
Look at what Tony Gonzalez was able to do with the clowns at an older age and less talent around him. I'll admit I was a little sore at Jimmy right at first too. But I really don't give a crap about any of that anymore. He's human like me and just as likely to be imperfect. I want more super bowls, we all want more super bowls. If Jimmy can help us with that, and I think he could, then I want him back.
