Russell Wilson may soon be a very happy man.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback, according to a report from Jay Glazer, could potentially be throwing touchdown passes to tight end Jimmy Graham next season.
"The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder," Glazer tweeted.
Adam Schefter of ESPN added to the report shortly thereafter.
"Trade final: Jimmy Graham to Seattle, per Seahawks official," Schefter tweeted.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com confirmed that the Saints and Seattle are finalizing a compensation package that will send Graham and a fourth-round pick to the Seahawks for Unger and a first-round pick.
Graham signed a four-year, $40 million deal last season with the Saints. As Rapoport notes, he's got a $5 million roster bonus due in two days, potentially pushing the Saints and head coach Sean Payton to make the deal now.
Graham finished last season with 85 receptions for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Since being selected by the Saints in the third-round of the 2010 NFL Draft he has become one of the most consistently dominant tight ends in the NFL.
For the Seahawks, the rich get richer. With Zach Miller released last weekend, the NFC Champions tight end depth chart was shallow.
With Graham, it just got a whole lot deeper.
