The Seattle Seahawks have pulled off a trade for Jimmy Graham at the start of free agency, with ESPN reporting that the team is acquiring him and a fourth round pick for Max Unger and a first round pick with the New Orleans Saints.

The move gives the Saints a ton of cap room and gives the Seahawks one of the best tight ends in the league. The team just released Zach Miller and now they have one of the best players in football to join an offense that is already stacked. The team got rid of Percy Harvin last season and re-signed Marshawn Lynch to a new contract and now they have a top target in Graham.

Graham comes in after putting up 85 catches for 889 yards last season and 10 TDs and that was considered a down year for him after the numbers he put up before that. Graham comes in with 26 TDs over the last two seasons and he has had at least 85 catches in each of the last four years. Graham comes in with a major contract and the Saints appear to be in a rebuilding mode and now have some more cap space to work with.

Graham had a fantastic season a couple years ago with 86 catches for 1215 yards and 16 touchdowns. The trade with Graham includes multiple draft picks and has the Seahawks sending center Max Unger. The team now has a legitimate tight end target and the report first came from Fox Sports.
