    First Romo, now Brees

    Rumors are that Brees might have a torn rotator cuff, which would end his season.

    Not confirmed.

    Wow. If that's true, the saints will not win a game this year.

    And stafford is being evaluated right now something with his ribs I think

    Saints are a bad team with or without Brees. without him they can pull an Indy Colts.. .tank the rest of the year on purpose to get the 1st pick and replace their franchise QB with a newer franchise QB.

    I will never for the life of me understand the Jimmy Graham trade.

    I would have traded whatever the Seahawks wanted to get Graham here...Wtf man

    That would be the most logical thing to do. How old is Brees anyway? Saints didn't look like a good team last year and they don't look like a good team this year.

    I was about to say, I understand it even LESS from Seattle.... especially after watching Lynch meeting defensive players as soon as he touches the ball & Graham not being involved.
    WHY do you make a trade like that unless you a speciffic role for the guy in mind?!?!

    It's too early to say but it seems like a repeat of Seattle's Percy Harvin trade- pick up a dynamic offensive player then ignore his playmaking abilities.

    Whatever Saints wanted, I guess.

    I think Saints ripped off Seattle. Graham's stats were partially due to the situation. Brees, over half the games in a dome...

    Saints got a starting-caliber center plus a first for Graham and a fourth.

    Latest info is that it's a "shoulder injury" and he could miss "several games"

    Russell Wilson is great at what he does, but it's not an easy dynamic for a big tightend who makes his living boxing out defenders to suddenly adjust to a quarterback who is scrambling 40% of the time.

    I think Graham will work out for them but it'll be a bit adjustment to learn to run that scramble drill with him.

    Poor Drew doesn't have a chance this year. Even with a rebuilt o-line he has no weapons beside Cooks. Sure Spiller out of the backfield but Colton is done is superstar tight end that he forced the ball to 99% of the time is gone and replaced by an aging Ben Watson, and he's left with Brandon Coleman as the #3.
