Harbaugh, Gore, Willis gone, J Smith probably going, Bowman still may never play again, Aldon Smith again accused of DUI, Bruce Miller beating his wife while we're pursuing Greg "somehow not guilty" Hardy, and now this shite.

At least we got Darnell Dockett, who'll add hilarity value, probably in a gallows humor kind of way though.

Exactly. I absolutely hate this trade. He was clearly hurt. He still has the potential to be absolutely incredible. The people who like this trade and hated Unger are those too stupid to realize that running isn't as effective as passing.

The center position and interior OL destroyed this offense. I don't care if you have Jerry fricking Rice...if guys are blowing up the middle of the line every other play, you aren't going to be productive. Getting younger, cap space, a top center, and a 1st rounder is huge for the saints IMO.

Count me in on the group that loves this trade for the saints even though I'm a big JG fan.

If the Saints didn't address the o-line issues this offseason, you would have seen an even bigger drop in production than we saw last year.

I think Graham is about as legit as it gets at the TE position but were the Saints going to win anything next season with the way the team was structured? I think most would probably say no so I understand moving him.

Not sure if what they got for him is worth it tho.

I love this trade.
Now who is Brees going to throw TD passes to when they are inside the 10?

Anybody he wants to.


Brees makes that offense, not Graham.

They were ridiculous in the first place because Gronk is clearly the better player.

Do the Saints have inside knowledge of the A. Hernandez case?

Thank you Saints for making it easier for the Bucs in the NFC South

I get trading Graham sort of, I can see it


But why to Seattle? Why make them better? Surely they could've found a comparable deal from someone in the AFC or someone that hasn't completely owned the NFC the last three years. That's the biggest head scratcher for the saints IMO

I'm going to cut myself if I read Saints Talk any longer.

Happy "overrated" Graham is gone, but celebrate the acquisition of Marcedes Lewis.

I'm just glad the Lewis rumor turned out to be a hoax.
