TE Graham references ‘next opportunity’ amid release report

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Tight end Jimmy Graham has tweeted out a reference to his “next opportunity” amid a report that the Green Bay Packers plan to release him.

ESPN has reported that the Packers will release the five-time Pro Bowl selection Thursday.

“The last two years have certainly been interesting!” Graham tweeted Wednesday. “A lot of memories, friendships and humbling moments that I will carry with me into the next opportunity. Thank you for the support during our exciting run this year toward that ever so elusive ring.”

The move would reportedly enable the Packers to create about $8 million in salary-cap space heading into the start of free agency next week.
