Footballjoe Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Get rid of Graham and you might as well let Brees go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud29 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 NFL.com saying that it's Unger and a 1st-rounder for Graham and a 4th-rounder. I guess now they have someone to throw to from the one yardline? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sksmith Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So...Josh Hill immediately relevant or is draft pick gonna be used to fill that hole? (I can't comment on actual trade, not sure I understand it just yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Saints traded for Marcedes Lewis from the Jags so there's your replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Looks like Brees will end with 1 Super Bowl ring and no more. Unless they trade him next... Not sure where the Saints are going with this - do they think Graham has suddenly gone TRich for some reason??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Supposedly, graham was an issue in the locker room. I have no link for this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think it was a combination of being in salary cap hell and poor interior line play. Unlike most teams where pass protection is more related to stellar offensive tackle play, for Brees it's always been his interior line's play that makes him effective. Unger is a beast when healthy. The problem has been injuries the last two years, which combined with the chance to get a bonafied offensive difference maker made Seattle ok with trading him away.

3downleague Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Soo excited! Graham and Lynch on the same team, the 'Hawks are going to be really exciting to watch this year. I think this negates their need to upgrade significantly at receiver, and addresses their need for a big TE (and how!) all at once. How do you think it affects his fantasy production? I would think he won't reach the numbers he did two seasons ago, but we should be able to expect more than last year, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) They can throw on the 1 yard line now all they want now and Seattle fans will be OK with it. Edited March 11, 2015 by Tripleshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he won't reach the numbers he did two seasons ago, but we should be able to expect more than last year, no? You're right, he won't put up the monster numbers of two years ago. The Seahawks just don't throw the ball that much and they're not going to fundamentally change their offense even with him. I can, however, see similar numbers to last year but more TD's. He's going to lead the league in red zone targets methinks, and there will still be plenty of TD's left for Lynch to run in. There's going to be a lot more TD's than FG's now.

Trying to find some sort of explanation for the trade. I just can't... The injuries may be a part of it. Heard rumblings that he wasn't a great locker room guy, which I could kinda see. This really alleviates a ton of cap space pressure. They get a stud OL (when healthy) and what should equate to a difference maker at #31.
