It seems difficult to picture the New Orleans Saints without Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham, but could it be a possibility?
While extremely unlikely, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com does state the Saints have been calling teams around the league and have brought up the idea of a Jimmy Graham trade.
The #Saints have called around, open to shopping many of their players, source say. One notable player included: TE Jimmy Graham. For real.

No more Drew Brees to Graham touchdowns? Not likely as the Saints would command a ransom in exchange for a Jimmy Graham trade, though, I can’t imagine the tight end will be thrilled to hear his name thrown around in trade talks. Of course, he’s just one of many big name football players who’ve allegedly been rumored to be on the move in recent days, so such needs to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, there’s going to come a time when the Saints do need to make some huge roster decisions with players like Jimmy Graham.
