JMG5 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Less guaranteed money than I expected, but the yearly average is about what I thought it would be. Anywhere between 25 and 28 per year is what I thought he would get. This seems like a good deal for the Saints. It will be interesting to see how it's structured and what kind of cap hit it has.

JMG5 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The Saints missed out on Graham. I really hope they don't do the same thing they did with Fleener now; miss out on option one and then severely overpay option two. Draft a TE in the 3rd and roll with Fleener another year.

whodatworm23 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Jimmy Graham to the Packers... He wanted to be back with Saints and Saints wanted him back but only at a certian price tag. Packers stepped up with much bigger offer. Packers new GM is under pressure to prove Green Bay is willing to spend in FA now but Saints were smart not to overpay Jimmy. Bottom line is that we traded him in the first place due to cost and injury history. He proved in Seattle he hasnt shaken the injury bug and he proved this free agency hes still too costly.

I ain't bothered. Would be a great weapon to have back, but maybe now we can put that money towards another nice defensive FA. -looking at DRC- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that was a smart decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that was a smart decision. Ol Jordy can some run some routes from the slot in NOLA. We could use a bit more depth at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodatworm23 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Packers paying Jimmy 30 million over 3 years with 22 of it in first 2 years of deal... NO THANK YOU!!! Saints traded a younger, healthier Graham 3 years ago because they really dident want to pay him 9.5 per bacl then. This market is crazy with a ton of average players getting elite money. Saints are being smart and thats a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Coleman could possibly fill about the same role if they could get him to hang on to the ball better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
