I live in Seattle and the KJR announcers are only 50/50 on this trade. Sure Graham brings a lot to the table but you are giving up Unger who is the anchor of the offensive line. So now a team that was already thin on the offensive line now loses both Unger and Carpenter to trades/free agency. If Seattle was a team built to pass the ball it would be less of a big deal but Seattle is a run first team.

So they are sorely relying on Tom Cable's ability to plug and play less caliber talent into the OL and make it work. Let's put it this way, I doubt Marshawn Lynch is celebrating right about now....

He's a lot more than a product of Drew Brees. That's asinine. Drew Brees wasn't creating tight ends before him. He's legit and will be legit in Seattle too. Doesn't matter though they're a spread the ball out, run first, defensive football team and their run game is getting worse with the line departures.

You'd think. OTC still has Wilson as only counting $1,696,868 this year...OTC hasn't updated the Graham deal but he'd be their 2nd highest paid player...basically, traded Max Unger's salary for Cary Williams and lost their 31st pick. Fun to watch...

Graham is going to lose his sh*t getting a few targets a game and run blocking vs. being THE receiving threat in N.O. Oh the ego-show will be great. Lynch is going to body-slam either Graham or Wilson or both at the same time. Jimmy makes $2.5M more than Lynch.

Another goal line/red zone option for Lynch to compete with. You're right, Lynch is prolly not to happy.

LOL

Hold on... so the Saints are trading their best weapon for an olineman and a 1st rounder? My guess is they try to replace Jimmy through the draft and HOPE they can get someone decent... how the hell can Seattle even afford Jimmy?? I'm confused...

Jordan Cameron maybe?

Cameron is a one year wonder.

Brees, Rogers, Brady, Manning...those guys make ppl into "consistent one year wonders".

Okay, one more time, because you in particular don't seem to get this - Willis hasn't been the primary cover guy for receiving tight ends for a few seasons now. That player is Bowman. Bowman is faster. He's on Graham or Reid is on Graham. But in the case of the Seahawks, two guys will be on Graham because there are no other decent receivers the Niners D has to worry about enough to double up.

And one more thing about this Graham to Seattle thing. Graham is going to find something out real quick - Russell Wilson is not Drew Brees.

Zach Whitman @zjwhitman
The Seahawks finished 5th in offensive DVOA with bad OL injuries and the Harvin-tastrophe. They just added Jimmy Graham.

John Boyle @johnpboyle
I guess it's safe to say the Percy Harvin trade debacle didn't make the Seahawks gun-shy about big trades.

Yeah because that's their goal in life, not winning Super Bowls. Fucc SBs! Just kill the Niners and we're good for the season.
