Who knows. But I guarantee there are teams that also see him as a tackle. That immediately boosts his value.

WOW! Never thought the Saints would ever let Jimmy Graham go. Matchup nightmare and Drew Brees security blanket all these years. Lots of talk about bad blood between Graham and the Saints after his contract negotiations. Once there's bad blood it tends to linger than go away (allegory for Vikings and Peterson?)

Have to give Seattle credit. They're not afraid to pull the trigger.

Can we combine this thread with the other one? We got the same stuff going on in both. I thought this one was originally just Vikings info, but who knows at this point.

Sorry, that's my bad. I'll keep it to Vikings here.

Nah, I've done both too. I don't think we need two threads, it would be great if a mod would just merge them.

I don't know. Maybe. I don't know if I'd put it past Chip to either still go after him or even trade Bradford!
