There was a lot of hand-wringing in New Orleans when the Saints traded tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks two years ago, and that’s normal, we all know what the word “fan” stands for, and “Jimmy” was a fan favorite in NOLA. And we just…shipped him away? To the Seahawks for an aging center? Ok, we got a first round pick too, but a center??? Yup, a balding dude named Max Unger who frankly doesn’t look all that fierce or intimidating. Two seasons later, even if we disregard the first-round pick that Seattle sent to New Orleans to acquire Graham (maybe we should, since draft pick turned into potential mega-bust Stephone Anthony) the Saints are still winning that trade.
Two years later, center Max Unger still gives the Saints the edge in the Jimmy Graham trade
