This being his 4th game he has under 100 yds receiving combined and only 12 catches with no touchdowns. If we could get him back for a late round pick would you want him? He looks miserable, I bet he wishes he was back with Drew

He just missed a catch off his hands and gifted it to Hooker

I would love to have Jimmy G. back. He was great while here and would be again.

What's his cap # now? I would send the 5th that we got for Anthony for Graham. Then we would have basically gotten Unger for Seattle borrowing him for a few years.

New Orleans could probably get him cheap. Realize, though, he’s a system player that is soft.

5th rounder that could become a 4th and he agrees to a cheap 3 year extension while reworking this year and yeah I'd like to see him back.

He doesn't need to be a focal point, but we still miss him in the red zone, especially around the goal line, and the stats since he left backs that up.

Edit:
Or just wait until next year and try to sign him cheap as a FA (he'll be 32).

Seattle was one of the worst places for him to go

Absolutely. He’d be an instant upgrade over Fleener. The question would be at what cost?

Needs to be on the cheap. He hasn't got the speed back ever since the injury.

I'm not paying him what he thinks he's worth.

I think he's a FA this upcoming offseason. If we can, I'd sign him in a heartbeat. I think he was a product of our system and can still play at an elite level.

I'll be honest, don't think I want anything to do with the guy. The way he left before really left a bad taste in my mouth. I saw on my timehop a few days ago where he tweeted at Akiem Hicks after we traded him something like "Glad you got out of that place bro... good luck ..." .. Like c'mon, man.

Did y'all forget he can't block, is soft, and makes our offense predictable?

No.
But we need a TE who is explosive speed wise off the line.

I thought the same thing, and I think he would absolutely be welcomed back into the Who Dat Nation. As long as we don't give up too much. He could help restore the offense to the glory days of, well, pretty much every year!

Jimmy can come back and chip then run his seam route and win a few games for us.

At this point, as big a fan I am of Graham, i'd say no. Fleener is younger (29 vs 31), has a cleaner injury history, and is an excellent blocker. Fleener has been much improved in the 1v1 seam ball so far this year, and has thrown several key blocks that has either propelled big plays (kamara td yesterday), or given brees extra time to either get rid of it or find someone. Our offense was too predictable with Graham. Now if hes willing to package with Fleener on some 2 TE sets and is okay with not being force fed the ball, then i'd take a look.
