Jimmy Graham thought he might be on the move this offseason.

He just didn't want to end up in the Bay Area with the Oakland Raiders.

“At first I thought I was going to the Raiders, so I was very sad,” Graham said at a charity event with his new team, the Seahawks. “But then I heard it was Seattle and I couldn’t be any happier.”

Pairing Graham with Amari Cooper would've been awe-inducing for Raiders fans. But Graham sounds like he would've been anything but enthusiastic about the move.

It's a strange coincidence that both the Raiders and Seahawks ended up with former Miami Hurricanes. Oakland drafted a player many consider to be Miami's best tight end since Graham in third-round pick Clive Walford.
