re: So maybe the trade wasn't about Jimmy

Jimmy was playing less of a tight end roll and more of a wide receiver these days and lining out more. I feel that made him less effective. There was no disguising that he could stay on the line or go out. He was out as a wide out and was jammed more. Maybe Saints wanted to get the money out of him....Also, he was the top "target" for DBs every sunday and was double teamed more. But as many have said on this board, the O-line was more of an importance than it was to have a high priced tight end that was really a wide out at this point. Still good production, but was a luxury. Drew is best when he spreads the ball around and Jimmy was becoming too often a target to "lean" on.
