Saints’ Jimmy Graham traded to Seattle Seahawks

After concluding the 2014 season, little did Jimmy Graham know it would be his last with the Saints’ organization. To say that Graham is anything short of a Saints’ historical star is an understatement in my opinion.

In just five years with the franchise, Graham had made a reputation for himself as one of the most feared tight ends in the league. In those years, he attained three Pro Bowl selections and one first-team All-Pro selection.

He totaled almost 5,000 yards receiving including two seasons of over 1,000 yards. He also found the endzone 51 times in those five years. He was nothing short of a monster with the New Orleans Saints.

In the 2015 offseason, the Saints and Sean Payton decided to trade the superstar to the Seattle Seahawks. The trade involved the Saints giving Graham and a fourth-round pick and Seattle giving Max Unger and a first-round pick who the Saints ended up drafting Stephone Anthony.
