Brees told reporter Alex Flanagan that he "couldn’t believe" Graham was traded. “I’m as shocked as everyone else. I love the guy,†Brees said. He lost one of his favorite targets, but may have improved his offensive line protection with Pro Bowl center Max Unger now with the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
This move could be a shift toward a more run oriented team (think Dallas Cowboys) with the addition of Unger and the re-signing of Mark Ingram. Let's not forget that the Saints also received a 1st round pick in this deal and they could move up to find Brees another offensive weapon.
