That is telling if he means what he said there and lends to Clayton's comments of Unger possibly getting cut if not traded.
Clearly they either thought highly enough of the younger guys or low enough of Unger that they were ready to move on from him this year. To get an Elite Receiver for a guy you wanted to move on from is amazing. This is the best front office in the league.

Funnily enough that's not how I took his words

Said that they've had talks with Wilson's people a few weeks ago. Seemed pretty casual about it.
Said the deal (as the usually do) is waiting on physicals. Said Max is due in New Orleans next week for his physical and then the deal will be final
Spoke highly of young guys coming up for the Offensive line.

Well he said they first started talking about a trade for Max and who would be available for him, And Then, they (the Saints) brought up Jimmy Graham. If that is the correct sequence then it seams pretty clear.

Yes he did say that, but that doesn't mean that he called them about Max. There is talk out there that the Saints wanted Unger from the start. Schneider was careful not to say who called first
DJrmb":1sh3clod said:I think the point I was trying to make is not necessarily who called who but simply that this was a deal about Max Unger first and foremost. I think that is telling because you don't get into serious trade talks about players that are as irreplaceable as some people have made Unger out to be.
