I know it's still early, but has there ever been a high-profile deal in any sport that worked out worse for both teams?

Stephone Anthony looked like a beast last night.

The Saints are not worse for the trade.

We have other issues plaguing us.

i don't think the RG3 trade was that great for the rams all things considered b/c of mediocre drafting

there are a few terrible NBA trades that i'm trying to think of that tanked both teams

Unger and Stephone Anthony have both been upgrades for the Saints. They badly miss JG in the red zone, obviously.

It is four games into the Graham trade. Seattle will change their offensive style to a passing first attack once Lynch is out of there.

I know it wasn't a trade but Demarco Murray to Philly seems just like Jimmy G to Seattle. Murray could be helping us tremendously right now, while he just doesn't seem to fit in the offense in Philly.

Saints do that trade again in a heartbeat.

Stephone Anthony is the Saints signal caller and most consistent defensive player this year. Max Unger has played like Max Unger, the best OLineman for the Saints this season.

This sentence shows your complete lack of football knowledge. How exactly did the Saints lose out on this trade?

Seattle traded for a TE that was a better receiver than blocker, in an offense that is heavily run-oriented, and so far they are struggling to get Graham involved.

The Saints drafted a young MLB who played exceptionally well against Dallas and has improved every week. They shored up their center position with Unger, who Seattle would welcome back in a heart beat (much like the Saints would with Graham).

The Saints' fault was not replacing Graham via free agency or the draft with a tall playmaker on offense. However, looking at the trade with a quarter of the season played, the Saints are the clear winners.

Still, there is a lot of football left.
