The New Orleans Saints are one of several teams expected to be interested in impending free agent Jimmy Graham. Wouldn’t Saints fans love this reunion? In addition to fans who’d go gaga over this, we have running back Mark Ingram actually “praying” for Graham to come back.

Graham was quarterback Drew Brees’ right hand-man starting in 2011. This was also the year that the Saints selected Ingram in the first round. The pair played together up through the 2014 season.
In 2015, the Saints traded Graham to the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, no tight end has been nearly as valuable to Brees as Graham was.
Just imagine a return of Graham, who has 51 career touchdowns with the Saints, reuniting with Ingram. Throw in Ingram’s partner in crime, running back Alvin Kamara, and that would be quite the trifecta, not to mention receiver Michael Thomas.
The Saints really should find a way to make something with Graham happen.
