Saints Trade Graham to the Seahawks

billyt81 · 03-10-2015, 04:38 PM

Last year some TE came out and said Jimmy Graham couldn't play for us because he doesn't block. Wasn't it Seattle's TE? If it was that's hilarious.

It was the Eagles Zach Ertz lol.

I would be lying if I still haven't totally processed this yet. We might have won or lost this but I love Unger a lot more than Graham when it comes to character...

I love the fact that Unger was part of this trade. Last year proved the Saints were in need of a intelligent center. JG is a beast no if ands or buts. The problem is his attitude. Last year he took a lot of plays off and disappeared in big games. Saints know Drew needs help from the running game and y'all need a dominant wr. We both got what we needed for sure. No doubt the Rd1 is big for the Saints also. ILB, OLB and CB are huge needs and those can be had in a deep first 2 rds of the draft.

Who do we sign to replace him?

I bet Julius Thomas is kicking himself
Charles Clay only on a transition tender
Jordan Cameron,(got to line up Jordan Cameron-Cameron Jordan at least once)

No one. Put Hill and Watson out there. Both were quite productive when Graham wasn't available.

No need. If you want to get an idea of the Saints offense without Graham, take a look at the Pittsburgh game last season. Other than the decoy on the Watson TD, Graham simply wasn't a significant contributor. And the offense still ran like clockwork.

I don't think Graham had a catch in the Pittsburgh game, and maybe not even a single pass went his way. We still scored at will, and it was one of our best offensive games.

Give Josh Hill a chance.

This explains a lot from the Hawks perspective..

The #Saints would eat $9M in dead cap by trading TE Jimmy Graham. Receiving team would be getting him at 3 years $27M ($7.9M g’teed)
