    No chance he isn't tagged but we need more than one player to fix this train wreck either way.

    He will be franchise tagged. No questions asked.

    We can use that money to sign 2 good receivers and a TE. No thanks.

    Pettigrew is maddening. He drops way too many balls. He would be hated here by our fans much like he is in Detroit. I'll pass on him.

    *Graham looks at the situation.*

    Ok... Saints are paying me pretty decently. I have a sure-fire HoF QB throwing the ball at me. My coach knows how to make this offense work.

    AND there is this Jets. Their QB is a trash. Their talent base is trash. That whole offense is trash. I am not going there unless they pay me 30M/year, guaranteed, for 5 years.

    that's not how athletes think 90% of the time

    a true competitor might think "maybe i can be the answer to the jets offensive woes" and want to get up to the challenge. if we pay him we are just as much in play as any team

    true athletes believe they can be dominant anywhere, atleast thats how i think


    us being awful on offense won't affect jimmy grahams decision, i think he might be intrigued by being about of the complete overhaul in the biggest market this sport has to offer

    We need more than just a great TE. Tempting though it is.

    Lets resign Dustin Keller on a cheap contract, assuming he is healthy.

    injury prone, can't block . . . just what we need.

    Sanchez seems to like him so unless we want to start Sanchez next year I would pass on Keller.

    Agreed. He offers great lineup protection and will certainly be a Gold Glove candidate.

    I think the OP asked the question on the assumption that he is somehow available and not tagged/signed.

    Based upon that assumption, 100% I would do that.

    That big tall athletic dynamic pass catching TE is a critical position we haven't had in ages and considering how importnant they have become in today's game, I really really want one.

    Graham would be number 1 on my list.

    I would like to land him too, but he would replace our desire for a WR, not for a TE. Graham's about as much of a TE as Braylon. I would want a solid blocking TE as well then.

    Who knows but I'm sure we could sign him for dirt cheap. Cut him if he can't play. I'd rather give him a vet min and play low risk, high reward.
