Saints trade Jimmy Graham to Seattle (Merge)

[IndyD4U]

The #Saints have called around, open to shopping many of their players, source say. One notable player included: TE Jimmy Graham. For real.

Saints are open to shopping TE Jimmy Graham, per @RapSheet. Bills need a tight end…...

 

[Indeee]

Go after Graham.. give up fleener or allen and a pick.. something. We should entertain this

[dgambill]

Seattle would be the perfect fit if they could afford him...imagine him and Gronk together though lol. I would think there would be a lot of suiters....especially Oakland.

The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder

Looks like Graham will be a Seahawk.

 

Big trade coming. Max Unger in the trade with picks.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Bogie is rejoicing somewhere.

Now aint that some shi........

[GoColts8818]

No need we have a very good set of tightends from top to bottom.

[12isthenew18]

WOW

[MTC]

New Orleans wins the trade. 

[BlueCollarColts]

WHOA

[corgi]

Good for Seattle and NO. Good trade for both teams.

[12isthenew18]

Unger + a first for graham and a 4th

[bababooey]

Smart move by Seattle, but I would have just handed it to Lynch at the 1...

[Dustin]

Best. Off-season. Ever.

[SkyBane]

Unger + a first for graham and a 4th

that first being pick 31 if it's this years, either way, Megaton deal.

[Flash7]

The Niners are now a dumpster fire. The Rams need a QB and the Cardinals are ascending. However, it looks like another Super Bowl run for Seattle. Not just because of this move but because of how the conference is shaping up.

[BOTT]

Too bad he will only catch 50 passes lol

[MrNLM]

lolwut?

Hey Russell, how about back-to-back championships? Nah, I think I will pass...

[BOTT]

Unless you're a Colts fan

[Mr.Debonair]

Who has an easier job at QB than Wilson

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

WOW this is 1 of the craziest off seasons EVER!!

[csmopar]

Holy crap...did not see that coming...

[Valpo2004]

WOW this is 1 of the craziest off seasons EVER!!

 

Just wait til the draft and a possible Eagles trade up for Mariota with Foles being traded away.

They're trading Foles for Bradford.  I can't keep up.

[chad72]

New Orleans wins the trade. 

 

The Saints' did win this. With Unger gone, it is a big blow to that OL that was run blocking real well. Continuity is everything with OL. Now, the Seahawks are saying "well Russell, this is your team, we expect you to not be 0-7 when the Legion of Boom gives up 25 points". We will see how it goes. Plus, the Saints unload that contract and get some much needed cap space.

[21isSuperman]

So Seattle's run blocking takes a big hit

[Roboturner913]

This is a good trade for the Saints IMO. Graham is seemingly always hurt and has bulked up too much and lost some of his speed. He's not the downfield threat he once was. The Saints get to clear a ton of cap room, get a first round pick, more playing time for Josh Hill who is a good-looking young TE, and keep buidling toward becoming a power-run/play action team.

Part of me is wondering how true all these trades are.  

[chad72]

Heck, Reggie Wayne may go to Nawlins where he has ties .

Hell yea NO is cap hell right now the get Seattle's #1 & Unger!! I think its a steal for NO. Taking nothing away from Graham he is a great player.

[Dr. Guildo]

Oh, my. I didn't see this one coming at all. Seattle has just made a big move to help Russel Wilson... and the Saints are getting more picks.

[amfootball]

They won't give it to Lynch when it matters anyways.

[amfootball]

Green Bay should have done this trade. They need a red zone threat for Rodgers.

 

That being said, I think Seattle got fleeced in this deal ...

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Wonder if this trade happens if they had won the superbowl this year...........................
