Re: All things off season 2015.
 

Yeah he went to Kc. O well not like he's a great player anyway.

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

Probably in the minority but I think Seattle brining him Graham is a bad move. You give up a starter on your o-line, plus draft picks, for a highly paid TE who doesn't block. Graham is just a pass catcher and that's it. Not sure how that fits in with their run first offense.

They had no choice. Whether they like it or not, they're stuck with him.

Yeah I don't get it either. I know Seattle needs pass catchers, but they could've easily gotten one in free agency and/or the draft.

Graham will help Wilson a lot but I agree unger is a great center and the 1st rd is still a 1st rd.

unger was injured a good bit this past season and i think his replacement did an acceptable job = unger is expendable.

Graham was injured a lot this past season too; and the Saints, who are a pass first team, where fine getting rid of him.

Saints Nation is quite upset but I agree with you. If NO uses that first round pick on a stud TE like Maxx Williams, they got better.

they got a C and a 1st round pick out of a guy that wasn't going to agree to a new deal anyways. fans may be upset, but unless you wanted to overpay badly, it's probably the right move by the FO.

Speaking of the Saints:


A fire sale in New Orleans!

@Rand_Getlin

NFL source on New Orleans: "The #Saints are literally shopping every single player on their roster. Complete fire sale." #NotQuiteButClose










@AdamSchefter

Chiefs traded this year's 5th-round pick to Saints for two-time Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs, per league source.

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

Saints are in rebuild mode. Trade Brees next? Lmao

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

again, grubbs was due to count $9.6M against the cap, as a guard. if they can find a younger QB they like, they might look at moving brees too. if you're going to rebuild, you might as well guarantee yourself a top 5 pick. that's hard to do with a QB as good as brees on the roster. (half kidding)

remember they got brees for free (as a FA - it should have been us!), so if they can get a 1st round pick for him, that's a nice bonus if they feel like he's only got a couple years left.

I think Brees and a couple more are safe in terms of not being talked about. This article sums up why they ditched Jimmy G.

Makes a lot of sense, and I think New Orleans came out with the better deal.
