Maybe if Jimmy sucks bad enough they will give him back and we will be a threat again offensively. Brees>Wilson that is the difference with Graham



I'm gonna be honest, trade Armstead to them for Graham+Pick

both are relatively injury prone, both fill needs for the other team. Armstead is relatively more valuable (OT > TE), so they can throw in like a 4th.

I think we should off the 5th for him back.

What is his contract like, he may get cut next year.

Anyone who can run a half decent route and catch the ball is great in a Payton/Brees offense.


Where are those guys? Certainly not on the roster now. The Saints WRs outside of Thomas are the worst they've been in the Payton era.

better than Ellerbe + PJ Williams.

Also a legit deep threat, so no need for Ginn and his hands.

We got the better end of the deal. Trust me, I have Graham in my fantasy league.

You, as usual, are so so so so wrong.

The 2015 WR corps was absolutely cancer. Decrepit useless Colston, underdeveloped Cooks, Snead, Joe Morgan and rookie Brandon Coleman. Absolutely 0% physicality in that group. No one could fight for the ball in coverage. 2014 and 2015 were the struggle when it came to this, and it was why our offense was extremely stale at that time.

Just the presence of Thomas now makes them 100000x better.

Hopefully we can give them the Anthony 5th for him back. Come full circle.

What would you call it right now? We're averaging about 10 points or so before 4th quarter garbage time through 2 games.

Seattle made the mistake of showing the NFL how to handle Jimmy Graham at the end of his stay here. Now, everyone is rough and tight on him since they know he is a softy. Because of that, he is getting injured all the time. Even if he came back to us, he would not be the Jimmy Graham of old.

LOL,,,,Just think if Saints still had graham, sproles and cook. Graham > Fleener......Sproles > Kamara.......Cooks > Thomas and Ginn.....The arrogance of the saints to think they can just plug and play anyone is the main reason for 3 consecutive 7-9 seasons....finally cannot wait to blow this thing up after another subpar year.....mainly getting rid of payton and brees massive contract..

My bad Kenny stills as well.......Imagine 3 wide with Stills, Cooks and Thomas......Graham in the redzone and stretching the middle of the field......sproles sparking the offense on 3rd down.....but oh well...we got a number 2 receiver as the #1......an old ted ginn who still cant catch....snead is a 3rd/slot receiver at best......oh well.....I will leave it to the saints to do what they do...
