O_O

 

what?!

Says they're still working on it. The quality and quantity of sources saying it is very respectable, but it's one of those insane deals I still won't believe until it's done. And even then....

[Gordo52]

Crazy.... Saints just spent all that time negotiating with him last offseason. I think it has to be something internal. Something runs me the wronf way with him. He's just soft and takes a lot of plays off. Maybe Seattles culture changes him? Idk.

Also some Twitter rumors that Brees might be on the block.

[lgcs27288]

Yeah a bunch of rumors are circulating that Brees might be getting traded.

Jesus.....

Idk how the Seahawks are going to be able to pay Thomas, Sherman, Wilson and Graham in the coming years

[CTFan]

Would seem their window is closing, but right now they look great. Graham will be a huge asset.

Good move by New Orleans, Graham is a soft as charmin tissues, he doesn't block and gets bullied easily. 

 

Seattle clearly does not have huge faith in wilson or are going to wait to pay him.

I just posted in other post about this news...I guess it's true...

 

Interesting offseason....

Does anyone ever wonder what offer the Saints would have taken if the Ravens had offered Haloti Ngata and their first round pick? 26 is a higher pick than the Seattle first rounder, and Ngata would've been a game changer on their defense. I think it would have been enticing but ultimately Ngata's cap hit would have been to high for them since they were already the team with the least cap space. But occasionally this thought enters my mind because Graham, although soft to some, is still a game changer on offense that teams game plan for, he's the big target Flacco wants and he's a flat out stud on the field when healthy so I wonder what they would have done if this offer came up, and I even wonder if maybe it did come up. Thoughts?

Ravens wouldn't give up a 1st for starters.  Ngata's cap hit would be too high for the Saints anyways.
