New Orleans Saints Free Agency Profile: Tight Ends

There was a time, not long ago, that the Saints had multiple players stacked position wise. One of these positions still hold true in quarterback Drew Brees. The other was at tight end, where Jimmy Graham and the Patriots Rob Gronkowski were talked about as being “heads and shoulders” above the competition. Graham, of course was stunningly traded to Seattle following the 2014 season. While Graham’s production has not been duplicated at the position, the Saints instead saw the emergence of three extremely talented young receivers in Michael Thomas, Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead. Still, it is said that a QB’s best friend is a reliable and trusted target at tight end.
