On if he had any thoughts that the Saints might be interested in trading him: “No, not at all really. I would say about a month ago, maybe not even a month ago, I was in the city and saw Mickey (Loomis) and was talking about next season with Mickey. Even when the season ended, just talking with the coaches, talking about what we’re going to do, what we’re going to work on, so it was definitely out of left field.” link

Why would they do this if they planned on trading him? They wanted Max more than they wanted Jimmy. Simple as that. Maybe he was a prick sometimes but so is a lot of the players in that locker room.

Like Junior, before he signed that contract everyone knew he was an idiot and Keenan Lewis just showed his arse in a silly bitch fit and they still want him.

Also a lot of his teammates had good things to say about him. Not buying it.

I just found a blogged article that references a recent Chris Mortensen Insider's report (I looked for but can't find a link to the source video):

LINK

quote:
Mortensen stated that there were reports that Jimmy was a locker room disruption, and that he wasn’t too happy about receiving the money as a TE, instead of the money he would have gotten had he gotten his wish and been designated as a WR before last season when he tried to argue against being designated a TE in contract negotiations.

quote:
Then came the real bit of a shocker that for me personally, is another reason to consider why Graham got traded.

Mortensen reported that it had been said that Graham “didn’t like to get hit or ‘touched’ in practice.

Again, no real evidence here, just additional smoke, this time, not just from some Saints Talk posters in this thread, but apparently from an ESPN reporter as well (who has at times been accurate with inside info.)

There's no doubt the team would trade Galette...if they could.

The New Orleans Saints have been quietly exploring a trade of edge rusher Junior Galette but have found no takers

Much like Galette, Lewis is not tradeable at this time due to his contract.

quote:
However, the move would not make financial sense, as the Saints would still be responsible for $6.9 million dead money due to his signing bonus. Lewis is making only $1.8 million in base salary for 2015.

Plus, Lewis realized he overstepped his boundaries with his girlish SM bullshite and broke his neck trying to plug the holes in the dam.

I'm not sure Galette and Lewis are 100% safe. Let the right deal come along and they may given their walking papers as well.

There's a difference between being a prick sometimes and having no respect for your coach, your captain, and your teammates.

Dude was locker room cancer and he landed in a team full of thug pieces of shite. He did right in until he realized they are actual thugs who are physical as all hell.

I'll bet he's crying like a baby back bitch by week 4,and he's "injured" by week 8.
