In the most shocking NFL move of the day, Jimmy Graham was shipped off to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for center Max Unger and a first-round pick on Tuesday.
While Graham hasn’t tweeted about the trade, he did change his Twitter profile to a very neutral look by listing “Traded” in his bio.

Are we to assume that Graham is not happy about this sudden move? If he was totally blindsided, it could take some time to absorb everything.
It’s also important to note that multiple members of the Seattle Seahawks threw shade Graham’s way following the Saints playoff loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions in January of 2014.
Seahawks' Michael Bennett called Jimmy Graham soft and the most overrated player in the NFL.

Linebacker Bruce Irvin also criticized Graham after that outing (via USA Today).
Jimmy was warming up in our area and I just asked, ‘Could you go on your side of the field?’” Irvin said after the Seahawks’ 23-15 win. “And he said, ‘I’m Jimmy.’ And I said, ‘Who is Jimmy? I don’t know Jimmy.’
It really makes you question whether Graham is happy about being dealt to Seattle. If not, he should probably get over it. Living in Seattle and playing for a Super Bowl contender should make up for any hurt feelings.
Who is happy about the trade? The Seattle Seahawks of course. They are now loaded at nearly every position.
