So this ghost may still be out there from last year...

Looks like Green Bay figured our Jimmy can’t block.

Graham is probably not fully healthy either which they found out quickly after signing him to more insane money than us - but, no, he still can't block...

Kinda like my ex, she couldn't cook because the will to cook wasn't there - where there's a will, there's a way...

Please God no Jimmy Graham. He’s completely done.

Give me TE Jesse James as JP mentioned or even take a flyer on Austin Sefarian-Jenkins. Also, there’s a chance the Buccaneers could cut Cameron Brate because they’re tight on cap space and cutting him frees up $7 million with $0 dead cap.

Brate = Josh Hill

James could really make that right side of the line sing in the run game (we still need to do something at RG, C)...

And James is a receiving weapon as well...

Brate is an active, good No. 2 TE, so is Josh Hill; also we just committed some coin to Hill so we won't be signing a TE to another No. 2 Tight End...

Why in the world would you want Jesse James then? Brate is a much more established TE.

I hear you XVI but does Jimmy Dickens make that catch Arnold dropped in the end zone? How about a red zone upgrade? In that Lambs game, inside the 20, it's 10-0 instead of 6-0, no? A lot of us hear probably don't want to hear it but having JG on this team could have made a difference.

I'm on the Jesse James train (blocks, catches well and is young) in Free Agency. Whatever the Saints do, I hope we aren't relying on rookie (via draft) at TE to start and make an immediate impact.

Trotting out undrafted (Hill, Arnold), lower round TE's and expecting them to perform like Gronk or Kelce' in crucial situations has got to stop.
