http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10349094/jimmy-graham-says-not-keen-new-orleans-saints-franchise-tag Could we afford to pay him what he wants? I know it may be highly unlikley, A) but what if he gets tagged as a TEB) decides to hold outC) new GM Licht somehow works out a trade for him Would the redboard want him in Tampa? Could we pay him as a WR? Would it be wise?

Maybe to stick it to the saints?Atl can't, and neither can the panthers. That leaves us IF he wants to go that route.And it doesn't hurt that he could probably get the most $ out of us.

This doesn't sound like a value signing. I think Licht is going to do things the right way. Overpaying for Graham is not the way to build a great franchise. Graham is a slightly better version of Wright. An UDFA for crying out loud. If you are going to do something extreme at TE draft Ebron in the 1st round. At least Ebron is a lot more than a slightly better version of Wright. He is a complete TE. And a great athlete. That would be extreme. I would not mind if he went after the best available DE in free agency.

You must live in Colorado or Washington.  Graham is a much much better version of Wright.

Oh I agree that Graham - Brees is a heckuva lot better than Wright - Glennon. But Graham - Glennon is not going to be significantly better than Wright - Glennon. That is the dealio.

Just got rid of a GM who buried us in a hole because he spent 5 years giving up premium picks and big contracts to players, and you guys want more of it?
