Jimmy Graham Was Sad When He Thought He Had Been Traded to the Raiders

The move of the off-season so far was when the trade that sent tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks. No one saw it coming of course. Why on Earth would the Saints get rid of their most potent weapon next to Drew Brees? It was madness; madness I say!

For Graham it was almost something else entirely. It was almost sadness, and not because he was leaving New Orleans. No, it was because of where he thought he was going.

While working as a waiter at a charity function raising money (for Ben's Fund, a charity started by Seattle GM John Schneider and his wife) for autism awareness Graham commented on how he felt when he thought he was being traded to Oakland.

It made him sad (comment comes at the :034 mark).



The last time the Raiders were considered any good was well over a decade ago so it is no surprise that he had no desire to go to Oakland.
