The Green Bay Packers reportedly are moving on from tight end Jimmy Graham after two seasons. A former New Orleans Saints’ star Graham, 33, was expected to make $8 million and it would carry an $11.6 million salary cap hit, according to NFL Network’s Nick Shook.
This move means that the Packers feel like they can replace Graham’s talents with younger and more productive players. In Green Bay, Graham caught 93 passes for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns, a clear sign of declining skill after his breakout in New Orleans.
Drafted out of Miami in 2010, Graham made three Pro Bowl appearances as a Saint, hauling in a total of 386 receptions for 4,752 yards and 51 touchdowns over five seasons.
