The Saints have two very good tight ends. Ben Watson was a starter in New England until the murderer and the hipster showed up. The other kid could start for other teams as well.
Marques Colston can pick up some of the slack with the Graham alignments. He entered the league as a tight end.
Marques Colston is the most underrated Saint ever IMHO. He has had six 1,000 yard seasons as a WR and never even made a Pro Bowl. That's a joke. He is also a great character guy who never makes a scene or demands more attention which is absolutely rare at the WR position. I hope he catches 1,400 yards next season with Graham gone.
I agree that he wants to win another ring, but I don't think he wants to leave New Orleans. Aside from getting an entirely new set of receivers, Brees would be in a new offense and he doesn't want to leave Sean Payton. This has been discussed before, but Brees knows his numbers wouldn't be nearly the same if he had decided to join Nick Saban at Miami instead of Payton in NO.Originally Posted by RhythmDawg
Every player says it's about the team, but they also think about their stats and personal legacy, even if they don't admit it. Brees in another offense would probably decline in production and would have to deal with the same "age" talk that Favre had to deal with in his last several seasons. Instead, he's being discussed as a future hall of famer who had a down year. Starting over in the NFL at age 36 is probably something Brees has no desire to do.
New Orleans still has a shot at another Super Bowl. Its a small one but far better than with another team. By getting rid of Graham, they are now going to be able to get a few more weapons on both sides of the ball and go for it one last time.
Wheeling and dealing!!!
SAINTS DEAL WITH NEW ENGLAND'S CB BRANDON BROWNER “ALMOST FINISHED”
Saints trade Ben Grubbs to Chiefs for fifth-round pick
A source with knowledge of the situation tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler the Saints "appear" to have placed every member of their roster on the trade block "but Drew Brees and Brandin Cooks."
Fowler reports the Saints want a "complete retool." Everyone "but Brees and Cooks" is obvious hyperbole, but there's no doubt New Orleans is undergoing a massive makeover, having dealt Ben Grubbs and Jimmy Graham already, while allegedly placing rising star Kenny Stills on the trade block. From ownership on down, the future of the Saints is in serious question after a 7-9 year.

They also traded Ben Grubbs for a 5th rounder to the KC Chiefs.
This would be a crazy 1,2,3 punch with Mark Ingram, CJ Spiller and Khiry Robinson.Wheeling and dealing!!!

STRONG MUTUAL INTEREST EXISTS BETWEEN SAINTS, SPILLER
Hopefully this past year is not indicative of what to expect this season. After this past year though, he is certainly shouldn't be off the table for trading if the price was right. He was a huge part of why they lost last year.
Wow! Continuing to load up on picks.

There are very few things that would change my loyalties- Winston on the team would do that. I hope that never happens!
Unless he picks up his play from last year, it will not happen with him as the starter.
9 count them 9 Draft picks. 5 in the first 3 rounds. We could see the start of a rebuild. Brandon Cooks appears to be a part of that.
I really think it's good. It's better than doing nothing. At least we're trying. Remember that Sean P has had some real gems in the draft...let's hope we're getting back to that.
