fuck Max Unger though? He was the best one...
we needed a new center anyway, yeah theyre definitely going to try and draft one. good thinking by the front office. this is awesome to me because ive wanted a stud TE for years and was just thinking unger wasnt the answer at center. center is like quarterback you benefit more from younger dudes who havent been paid yet, once they get big money the team regresses, so you gamble and get a solid allpro center youre solid for years to come. unger wasnt going to be solid for years to come.

Saints, Seahawks agree to Jimmy Graham trade

The New Orleans Saints haven't been shy about shaking things up after a disappointing season.

Apparently that extends to almost everyone on their roster.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday of a trade to ship tight end Jimmy Graham to Seattle, according to a Seahawks source.

(I'll pause to allow Who Dat Nation to stop hyperventilating.)

The Saints will send Graham and a fourth-round pick to the Seahawks for a first-round pick (No. 31 overall) and center Max Unger, per Rapoport.

Last summer, the Saints locked Graham down on a four-year, $40 million contract.

Parting ways with a difference-maker and massive matchup problem seems to be incongruous with Sean Payton's offensive that leans on scheme versatility.

However, the three-time Pro Bowl player has dealt with injuries that have hindered him the past several seasons. The Saints could believe the first-round pick, a solid center and the ability to shed Graham's contract is worth moving him before his body breaks down further.

When the 28-year-old is healthy, he is a matchup nightmare and one of the best red-zone threats in the NFL.

Somewhere Russell Wilson is dancing with joy.

The Seahawks' biggest need this offseason was a red-zone threat and a tight end. In one swoop they have gotten a player that can dominate.

The Saints parted ways with a Pro Bowl player in his prime and the NFC Champions picked up a killer weapon. As in life, often times the rich do get richer.

Blackmon and Williams are just their for competition. With Lane recovering, it fills holes for the summer. Make no mistake, Hawks WILL draft a CB....and a big time one, probably in the 3rd round. I dont think they will try Peters if he is still there at pick 31...i just dont see the scenario. Maybe they trade out?
Williams already KNOWS the deal that's why they got him:

Lol so y'all give up the anchor to an already thin line and a 1st round pick for a guy who doesn't fit the offensive scheme and is soft lol
