Jimmy Graham will soon hit the open market.

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to let the tight end pursue other options when free agency opens on March 14, according to the NFL Network.

This raises an interesting situation. The Saints are in need of a tight end and Graham was at his best playing in New Orleans. A source indicated this week that the Saints would have some interest in bringing the tight end back if he hit free agency, while another source said the team harbors no hard feelings over how things ended here.
