BREAKING: Seahawks Acquire TE Jimmy Graham In Trade With Saints

The Seattle Seahawks have acquired All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

New Orleans will receive center Max Unger and a first-round pick in the deal. Seattle will also receive a fourth-round pick.

This deal comes as a shock since Graham, a vital cog in New Orleans' high-powered passing attack, signed a long-term extension with the Saints last year.

Seattle has been looking to upgrade their receiving core to help quarterback Russell Wilson's progression, and Graham is arguably the best tight end in the league. He caught 85 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
