Another head scratching decision.
Not sure if our recollection of Grahams last season as a Saint or what he was costing us are the same. :bng:

Max Unger was a bit more than “decent” in New Orleans though. He played at a high level and was an All Pro under Payton/Brees system.

I’m more pissed on how they fumbled that first rd pick (Stephone Anthony) in the trade :mad:.
Sorry, Realized I hadn't clarified. What I meant more, was that Graham would have been HOF, if he stayed here past 2014.

Not that he's a HOF player now, as I don't think he is.

I can't really remember the number if I'm honest.

But I do recall Payton giving Jairus Byrd all the money in the world and letting Graham and his 900+ yards and 10+ TD's per year walk away.

Graham had 889 yards and 10 TD's in 2014, his final year before being traded. He just finished the first year of his four year $40 million deal. No one after Payton and Brees were able to get the same numbers from him.

I remember Payton wanting Unger badly, but Seattle would only do a deal if we threw Graham into the mix.
