The Green Bay Packers could soon have a new tight end.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report for Thursday, May 24.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is searching for some tight end depth. Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday that the team is interested in potentially signing Marcedes Lewis.

Green Bay lacks depth at the tight end position behind Jimmy Graham. Bringing in Lewis would make sense.

Let’s get started with Thursday’s Packers News Report. Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.

Brian Gutekunst has already made a big move at tight end this offseason, signing Jimmy Graham. Now he needs to add some depth. Lewis can provide that. The 34-year-old won’t need to play a huge number of snaps, but he would offer cover in case of injuries, while also improving the blocking at the position.
