Saints Trade Graham to the Seahawks

I like the trade, but it bothers me that it had to be with Seattle. Wish it was an AFC team. It also bothers me as to what we had to give up to get Graham signed to that contract. We sure could have used Sproles at least last year.

It should be NOLA all day. As long as your team gets better, that is all that matters. If it means trading with the Dirty Birds, so be it..

How injury prone is this cat we got? How do Seattle fans feel about this?

Hasn't been injury prone till the last two years. He seems to break down towards the end of the season. The Hawks got lucky he was back at the right time. If he can stay healthy, you will love him. He is tough smart and a great leader (which has given me some pause). He and Sweezy were our best lineman but he has shown some signs of breaking down. Don't kid yourself, this was a big reason The Hawks were willing to let him go.

From a strictly talent/immediste impact standpoint I'd say sesttle got the better trade. That being said, I think the Saints benefited most.

As for Jordan, we need to let that alone. He had a down year, it happens, I still think he can be special.

Depends on the offer and future plans.
He has one year on his deal and if Allen wants a 4-3 d and payton agrees i dont think Ryan has much say. If ts a 4-3 look long time then you make a trade and gets something back. Otherwise keep him,i really rate him but not in a 4-3 D.

The interesting thing is what do Seattle do on the interior.
If they cant keep Lynch from getting hit and the pocket collapses its not good. Can they afford the Raiders C in FA or is it a rookie coming in

Damn it! So now what do I do with my Jimmy Graham jersey?

Still in shock over this one. Seahawks fans should be real happy about this I guess.

Hope we have done the right thing and as I have said in other threads on this site I would assume the coaches and front office know what they are doing.

Get the feeling that with a healthy JG the Hawks offence is going to be even more awesome next season.
