ML: "We want Unger, and we're willing to give etc, etc,"
S: "No deal"
ML: "What do you need"
S: "Is anyone off limits?"
ML: "No"
S: "Graham"
ML: "We'll need more than Unger for him. How about a 1st?"
S: "That's going to be tough, we'll need your 5th and Graham, and you have a deal."
ML: "Deal"
See how unemotional things become when they are put into context?

I know they said he was off limits, but I'd bet Cooks was one of them they offered.

You couldn't be more correct. Being discussed in a trade, is not that same as "looking to trade."

Loomis is now on trade block

ML: "hmmm. I dont know. We were thinking of trading Ben Grubbs for a 5th round pick, and i dont know what we would do if we did not have 2 picks in the 5th round this year.
How about a 4th rounder?
Posted on 3/13/15 at 9:49 am to DirtyMikeandtheBoys
But we gave them a 4th rounder

No. We'd lose even more cap than we did. Cooks would have lost us cap on top of Unger's contract while Graham saved us at least about half of it.

just glad we turned this one down last year...

The interest in Graham had been there for some time. The Seahawks tried to trade Percy Harvin for him last year, but the Saints said no. Now, Graham is with Seattle and he gives them an incredible target for Russell Wilson. The Seahawks don't have a robust passing game like the Saints do, but we still think Graham puts up TE1 numbers in Seattle.

I dont know, I would honestly have a hard time believing Seattle wouldnt have done Unger for Cooks and Stills. Cooks would do well in that Offense, IMO. But hey, im glad we got Unger and still have Cooks.

We fricked up. That's exactly how it went down. We were only supposed to give up a 5th.
Posted on 3/13/15 at 10:07 am to lsufan_26
Im not sure I get why people are upset, we gave away a 4th and picked up another 5th. If someone would have offered the Saints another 5th round pick and a 1st rounder for a 4th, we would have done it.

like I said earlier, really seems like Seattle is the only team we discussed trading Graham to. Not convinced we got the best deal, but water under the bridge at this point.

We could have gotten better draft picks but a better player? I doubt it
Not many teams would have had the cap space to trade for him and the teams that did wouldnt have had any players worth a shite like the Jags or Raiders

We weren't shopping Graham. We were trying to get Unger. So we got the best deal to get Unger.
Did we get the best deal for Graham? Probably not. Were we talking to other teams about him? No. We weren't shopping him. We were trying to get Unger.

I get he was a guy they coveted, but given his injury history I don't know why you pay that price
