The Seahawks were known to be looking for a tight end this offseason, but there wasn’t an inkling that Graham could be their guy until shortly before Graham became their guy. He’s due a $5 million roster bonus in five days as part of the four-year, $40 million contract, but the Seahawks can absorb the contract as well as a new pact for running back Marshawn Lynch thanks in part to the low price they’re paying for quarterback Russell Wilson.
The deal could conceivably make it harder to get Wilson signed to an extension this offseason, but it probably won’t hurt Wilson’s bargaining power to have a year with a player like Graham catching his passes.

Great move by Seattle.....Jimmy Graham is 1 heck of a player.
