I don't disagree with your initial post. You got DV'd by some homers who love 2010 JG and would like to see him return, that's all. Your second post is getting DV'd to hell, because it's bad form to whine about DV's. (I don't think you're whining, but that's how it appears though). It's internet faux-pa

Graham put Nola down when he left. He isn't welcome back and he is a shite TE. Brees made him. I hope he goes to a division rival. He is done.

Thad Moss as a Saint would be cool. I like having Randy Moss root for my teams. Southern Family, Thad is a hard worker etc.

Lol yeah I figured that second post would get hammered but I was honestly just curious on what their thoughts were but I can see how it came across as whining

Jimmy needs to take Gronk for a plane ride right into a beautiful sunset.

Graham is super mega bitch. Let him keep hopping to different teams trying to be a fraction of what he was here.

Drew and Jimmy definitely communicated after he became a free agent the last time. He wanted to come back to New Orleans but couldn’t pass up the money Green Bay was offering. I know he would come back but the problem is his value at this point is close to vet minimum. Not sure he would want to play at that salary.

More like Graham burnt that bridge.

Graham is the poster child of why you don't burn bridges on your way out -- OF ANY JOB.

Just hold your tongue, thank your former employer, tuck your tail between your legs, and exit gracefully.

Brees made him

And this is why he would now be a bad fit, other than a 1 year min deal. Once Brees is done, presumably after 2020, it will take some time to get the next QB to a top tier level. The last thing you want is a hothead crybaby in the locker room demanding attention and the ball while you have an inexperienced QB.

For most people I'd agree Drew made them, but in the case of Graham I'd argue that Payton and his scheme had more to do in making Graham than Brees did. Obviously Brees in prime definitely helped, but it's not like Graham left and went to slouches at QB in Wilson & Rodgers. During his time with us Graham was damn good receiving mismatch and Payton designed a lot of the offense for him, similar to how when Drew went down last year and MT13 still put incredible numbers for 5+ games with Bridgewater. Player was great, scheme was great, and obviously the QB helped but it was not the main reason.

As for the question should we bring him back? Depends on the price! He could still challenge Cook for TE1, but even if he is TE2 us having a legit TE2 is not a bad thing. Cook had a couple concussions last year and is getting up in age so having someone to split reps with is not a bad idea. Outside of Taysom, no other TE on the roster poses a threat in the pass game. With Zack Line gone, I'm sure we'll find another FB but running some 2TE formations might be the better option if the FB is not as good, similar to what the Patriots did with Gronk/Hernandez
