Jimmy Graham to sign with Packers

[drrew]

Speculation is that the Saints now turn to ASJ as their primary TE target.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I imagine they will be smart enough to split him out most of the time not try and have him block.

 

[TwistedHusky]

With Jimmy Graham gone, a totally JS thing to do would be to sign Jordy Nelson to big coin - only to find out that he ends up being nowhere near the threat he was because he does not have Aaron Rodgers.

Let us hope we don't see this scenario as a terrible side-effect of losing Graham.

Shaquem Griffin runs at Graham, Graham runs a different route to avoid Griffen, Rodgers has a meltdown in the huddle.

One can dream, and where cold weather can numb it can also make things like getting hit hurt a lot longer.

Or just throws the slant to Davante.

Doug Baldwin-Jordy Nelson-Tyler Lockett would be a nice 1-2-3.

 

[Crizilla]

Never truly was a great fit.

 

[semiahmoo]

Sad to see him go but wish him well.
Not sure he's going to like playing in the chill of GB though.

Rodgers' style is similar to Brees - only better (and with a better arm) so maybe it'll be a couple great seasons for them.

 

[hawknation2018]

Jordy Nelson's stock is low right now. He's going to be 33, he's had some recent injuries, and he's coming off his worst statistical season.

But when you actually look at his numbers in detail, he was quite good when Aaron Rodgers was healthy and playing. Nelson had 230 yards and six TDs in his first four games with Rodgers.

I would sign him for $5M.

 

[RastaHawk12!]

Ugh...
So much for Unger and a first. :|

 

[Wartooth]

This is what I see happening...
Jimmy wiffs on a block, brittle old Arron gets drilled and broken...
Spends season on IR, Packers flame out again.

 

[Seymour]

That is probably that.

I know we heard the sound of the window shutting a while ago.

But that is the sound of a door closing in our face.

Not only will teams like GB and the Eagles be leagues better than us, we likely won't even be competitive with them.

GB might have a less intimidating defense but that offense is going to be a buzzsaw.

For the Seahawks, already stuck with a defense that has pieces ripped out of it, combining that with an offense that just had its few teeth removed - it is going to be an interesting few years in Seattle.

So does a buzzsaw spit out it's teeth much like Jimmy drops balls at league leading rates then? :snack:

 

[RCATES]

Kinda wished we landed ASJ before JG landed somewhere. No way we outbid NO or the Jets now. Hawks offense was hard to watch last year. This year will be even more (insert) poopemoji

 

[MontanaHawk05]

He won't be asked to block there, and he won't be sat on crucial downs or red-zone drives. I predict at least two monster seasons from him.

 

[MrThortan]

Should be a better fit in GB than in Seattle. Bevell blew the opportunity for the most part. He made some nice TDs for us, but what left a mark in my memory were all the dropped passes he had. Would rather see his money go elsewhere

 

[Blitzer88]

He'll fit well there. They won't ask him to block, they will actually ask him to do what he's good at.

 

[Kinger95]

Still no word on money??

He has to be worth more than that turd Sammy Watkins

 

[ApnaHawk]

Good riddance

 

[pittpnthrs]

Rodgers to Graham will be lethal. Bummer we have to play them again this year.

I'm guessing $9M/year or slightly north of that... $9.25M?
