Look at the Packers, they suck at TE, but have legit WRS. We need to do the same

They also have Aaron Rodgers, as opposed to an aging Drew Brees.

People act like we got some bum at center. Max Unger is freaking legit and was easily Seattles best linemen.


People bitched about our offensive line, well now we fixed that problem. Tight Ends are expendable. Especially when you pay them 10 mil $ a year. Now we have money to spend in Free Agency on defense.


Then draft two legit WRs in the first round. People need to relax man. It was a great deal. And it's even sadder that even fans from other teams admit it was a good deal

Does anyone see the long term move that loomis just created for the NFC. The Seahawks have a very young nucleus on rookie contracts and we're going to have a very hard time paying everyone. Now they have jimmys bloated contract to further complicate that. Not to mention that jimmy disappears in cold weather. Hill played great when given the opportunity last year. All in all I think this was a great trade.

But is Jimmy Graham black enough?

Many Jimmys will be Russelled at the superdome.. Graham is totally going to drop the dunk on the goal post.

I guess the big question now is can Unger stay healthy?

If Jimmy becomes a pass block I'll agree with you. But you know he doesn't want to block because he's soft.

Jimmy will shine in Seattle, great move for him. Saints better hope the Seahawks fall off or they'll be going through Seattle again for any legit post-season run.

Maybe they think Jimmy's contract will be a Trojan horse because once Wilson gets paid that's gonna tie up a ton in those two.

I wouldnt be mad at this at all.


I like the trade. I saw Drew Brees get pressured from the center position too many times this season. I think one of the main reasons he struggled this year was because of bad O-line play. This moves improves the OL, gives us cap room and a 1st round pick. Good deal IMO.

I agree good trade. Now only to make it better use that draft pick or the money saved to get someone athletic on offense

yes, i hate that it has come to this. Cant develop players, so lets trade the best weapon on offense so they can try again.

So now the Saints best offensive weapons are an aging Marques Colston, a third-year #2 guy in Stills, or a second-year guy coming off of injury who only showed flashes in the few games he did play. Oh, and Mark Ingram who played well in a contract year.

Future is so bright I gotta wear shades!

And JG as was talked about here seemed to play pissed off last year. And I don't mean in a good way.

On paper as much as I have loved JG it looks like a good deal.

Time will tell fellas.
