Saints’ Graham Wants Drew Brees Signed

NEW ORLEANS (NFL) – The New Orleans Saints began their vol­un­tary off­sea­son work­outs Mon­day under unusual con­di­tions — cir­cum­stances that were not solely lim­ited to the fall­out from their “bounty” scandal.

Saints quar­ter­back — and unques­tioned team leader — Drew Brees was notice­ably absent from the day’s work­outs, as the fran­chised signal-caller con­tin­ues to engage in a con­tract dis­pute with the team. One Saint, whose suc­cess is par­tic­u­larly tied to Brees’ pres­ence on the field, said Tues­day enough is enough, it’s time the team signed Brees to a long-term deal.

“I think it’s very impor­tant,” tight end Jimmy Gra­ham told AM-870, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “I can remem­ber last year, dur­ing the lock­out, other teams, they didn’t get together. Drew orches­trated and paid for a lot of the younger guys and even got me a place to stay and said, ‘Jimmy, I want you here.’ He paid that out of his own pocket for all of us to be here train­ing together and we saw what that trans­lated into and what that meant as far as us jelling.”

Added Gra­ham: “I’m not sure what’s going on or all the details but I just want him back as soon as possible.”

Last week The Times-Picayune, cit­ing a source, reported that Brees was very upset at the prospect of not attend­ing the start of work­outs because “he wants to be there for his team­mates.” A source told NFL.com’s Steve Wyche last Fri­day that there has been no move­ment in con­tract talks between the two sides.

Brees spent Mon­day in New York at a meet­ing between the NFL and NFL Play­ers Asso­ci­a­tion in which the Saints’ “bounty” scan­dal was dis­cussed, among other issues.

Gra­ham quickly became one of Brees’ favorite tar­gets last sea­son, record­ing 99 catches for 1,310 yards and 11 touch­downs and emerg­ing as one of the top tight ends in the league.
