Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
That's a shocker. But I've thought for a couple of years he was a little soft. The rebuilding has begun.
Re: Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
I called this when they gave him his contract last year. I just didn't see it lasting.
But hey, now we're stockpiling draft picks and trying to get better on the lines, and those are steps 1 and 2 to becoming a better NFL team. Hope the Saints can find a QB they think will learn well from Drew, because it's time to walk down that road too.
Re: Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
Saints get a center and the Seahawks 1st pick which is the last of the round. Doesn't look like enough.

The devil is in the details, but based on what we know right now I would have to agree with you.
Re: Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
I think Graham had become a cancer in N.O.. He was NOT happy with losing in arbitration and he "mailed it in" last season. Now, for his sake, he can start anew, with Seattle rightly telling him, "hey! we agree you shoulda got more, but..." And, don't blame us for your salary dispute either.
For the Saints, well, one of the two over-paid cry babies is gone. The other should be "shifted off to Buffalo."

Good riddance Graham...very selfish player in a team sport.

Yep, he was a wuss too. Wanted WR money and played TE like a WR.
Re: Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
I actually like the trade. A 2 time pro Bowler center (only 3 sacks allowed in his 4 year career) plus a extra 1st round pick this year. Great centers are harder to find than TE's that actually are bad blocking WR's.
| Max Unger is one of the top 3 Centers in all of the NFL. |
Saints get a 28-year-old 2 timePro Bowl anchor for the offensive line for a long time. |
| **Saints will save $27 million in 2016-2017 cap space from Graham trade** |
| He's a 2x Pro Bowler and made First Team All Pro in 2012. He'll turn 29 next month. Graham is 29. |
He helped make Lynch the beast he is today.
| Seattle averaged 50 more yards a game rushing with Unger in the lineup than without. |
Max Unger's Overall PFF Grades:
'09: 6.1
'10: -0.5
'11: 7.4
'12: 26.2
'13: 1.9
'14: 12.4

"Not gonna happen. Wouldn't be prudent."
Re: Saints Trade Jimmy Graham to Seahawks!
Unger only played in 6 games last season because of knee and ankle injuries. I hope he is healthy next season.

That shoulda been "shuffled" off to Buffalo.
Regardless, trade Brees for "too much!" Draft a QB and start over.
