Seattle was going to let go of Unger. I know that for a fact. So while I think it's fair to wonder if Seattle should have held onto one of its more experienced offensive linemen, the reality is that it wasn't going to do it.

I don't have the insider perspective that O'neil does, but I had strong suspicions that Seattle was looking to dump Unger this offseason. Two unhealthy years, bad snaps, and considerable cap cost. No longer young. Hearing Danny say this I think confirms those suspicions that the Graham trade was essentially two separate transactions disguised as one.
