Why? A disgruntled TE that wants to paid as as WR. Don’t need this distraction.

He's probably vetreran insurance signed just to make sure Foster Moreau makes it through camp without any setbacks with his health. If there are no issues with Foster, JG gets cut and retires.

Unless its so he can retire, this is a really stupid move by the Saints.

No way he makes the team. He’s not needed.

If he was going to retire...they would've signed him to a 1-day contract.

He'll be at training camp.

And damn he probably almost choked to death swallowing his pride coming back here on the cheap. Seeing as how he fricked up his chances at a HoF career by demanding top 3 WR money instead of Top 3 TE money.


Yeah, how dare that guy try to get paid what he thought he was worth. That's never happened in the history of pro sports or the world!!!!!!!

Why?? They don't need him now because 1) he's past his prime now and 2) he will just take catches away from Juwan and Foster and the young TE that reall needs the catches 3) Derek Carr isn't Drew Brees, Drew Brees had a connection with Graham and made him look better than he really was. So, I don't understand this signing at all when they have much more important needs at LB, DT or DE, and maybe another DB for depth purposes.

Without knowing how much he signed for, it's really hard to tell if this is a good or a bad deal.

Going way out on a limb here, but maybe they are hoping Graham can compete for a role similar to what Carr had with Waller. I think Juwan fits that role much better at this point in their respective careers, but Graham could be there to push him and have the better man win

If the team agrees with your thoughts, this signing does not keep the team from addressing any of those positions. The only thing that affects those spots is the talent in FA, and how any of those players may fit within our scheme.

We shall see. Just like the sunshine pumping black and gold dick riders saw last year and the year before. Tried to tell y’all then and am trying to tell y’all now but y’all never want to hear the truth, only sunshine.

Can't believe we are signing this soft arse bitch. I've never seen someone be stripped, tackled, pushed back inches short of the goal line like this pussy.


Cam Cleeland is a little old to be making a comeback.

I’d be very surprised if he makes the squad. His knees are evidently pretty shot.
But also not that surprised he re-signed with the Saints after Sean left. They did not get along at all.

Must be why I’ve been so right about many things lately.

Maybe he had injury issues last few years and is healed now. I’m sure it’s for the vet min. If he can’t cut it in training camp, he will know and just retire as a saint. No harm in the signing.
