I can see Trading him... And getting some Really good players..

And or


I can see Trying to sign him... But, That could be hard and crippling (price tag) to the Saints... With the filling grievance by the NFLpa on Jimmy Graham's behave this could get ugly...

As much as people hate on Ingram for making the Saints offense predictable, Graham does the same thing only in the opposite direction (Pass 99% of the time). I'd be more than willing to trade Jimmy if the price was right, otherwise, I'd hope the Saints would let him ride out on his tag value this season and maybe next unless they come to a reasonable deal.

Sorry my friend but this has been beat to death here.
Yours is the 546 JG thread.
I don't know if you have noticed but the Saints/Brees really like JG.
He will be here next year then we will see.
On to the draft now

Really it depends on if the Saints/Jimmy can work out a longterm deal or not. Price should be in the 9-10 million range.

If Jimmy gets designated as a WR and really wants $12+ mil a year, it's not worth it for the Saints IMO and a trade would be in order.

Jimmy is a dynamic game changer, but if he's a WR making $12 mil a year, then I'd prefer to pay a real top 5 WR $12 mil a year instead.

Yeah, I know! There's so many more points of interest that we need to cover before the draft and millions of other topics to delve into this off season.




Don't like where you're at...hit a road.

Obviously it depends on what you get in the trade, but I personally would settle on a 1st and 3rd this year. I know he's been productive, but he's a system TE.

Yeah , personally I'd rather another Team to wait and sweat out that decision by the NFL... (when did they last rule in the Saints favor)??

I never thought about it but who would we take? I'd probably go Mack.

We'd definitely be able to secure Marcus Martin then

The ultimate "FU" would be to trade the pick to the Falcons and take Donald/Evans at #6 and have a shite load of other picks to play with.

Clowney unless we traded down. I'm not worried about the scheme. Rob would find a way to make him comfortable.

I wouldn't be opposed to trading down 2-4 picks and taking Mack. That's what Houston should do IMO (they're taking Clowney if they can't trade the pick. 100%)
