Great story, but don't hang your hopes on it.

Jimmy Graham was in his second season - his first season as a starter. Playing for the team that invited him to be on the sidelines for the superbowl and then took a chance on him and gave him a shot. He was a young kid with his head spinning from having his life completely turned around and becoming a star. Fast forward 2 years, he is a little more mature and more established. He's probably still very loyal, but will also be more realistic as well. I'm sure he wants to stay, but he probably sees the bigger picture at this point.

What about...when he said it in September 2013?

quote:

Jimmy Graham joked Wednesday that he sat down with quarterback Drew Brees last week for his own press conference.

For selfish reasons, Graham wanted to know when Brees, already 13 years into his NFL career, planned to retire. His answer would let Graham, a tight end, know when he should hang up his own cleats.

The short answer?

No time soon. Not the way Brees' body feels. Not with Sean Payton back on the sideline, calling plays and so many offensive options awaiting his next throw. Not with so much left to accomplish.


The article has been pulled from Miami Hearld, but here's proof it existed

Or this quote from Jan 2014...

quote:

I told Drew I'm going to retire with him so hopefully that'll happen.
