Resigning with the saints for another year #whodat

This news has not yet been confirmed officially by the NFL or the Saints, but it's safe to say the two sides have agreed to terms at least verbally on a new deal.

It wasn’t just the New Orleans Saints who had a down year, tight end Jimmy Graham also struggled in 2012.
To many others, finishing with 85 catches, 982 yards and nine touchdowns as a tight end would be a bright spot, but for Graham it was the surprising amount of dropped balls that hurt.
His career-high 15 drops comes on 100 targets of the dominant tight end. It was five more...
