3. Jimmy Graham, Seattle Seahawks

If the Packers want to be consistent with their last two offseasons, veteran Jimmy Graham could be on their radar.

Graham is not the same tight end he once was in New Orleans, but he is still dynamic and showed he can play.

Last season he played in all 16 regular season games, caught 57 passes for 520 yards and 10 scores. It was the fourth time the veteran scored double-digit touchdowns and the first time since 2014.

His success on the field earned him his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl. This is the second time in his career he made the Pro Bowl in consecutive years.

Prior to joining the Seahawks, Graham had 80-plus receptions and at least 850 yards for four consecutive seasons with the Saints.

Despite Graham turning 32 in November, Spotrac has calculated his market value to just under $7 million a season.

Graham has never been an elite blocking tight-end but he makes up for it with his playmaking ability. He would immediately become one of Rodgers’ favorite targets, especially in the red zone.

There should be mutual interest between both parties.
