The Packers intend to sign tight end Jimmy Graham to a three-year deal, sources tell ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). The deal provides Aaron Rodgers with a quality red zone target at TE, something they have been seeking for years.

Pretty stupid move IMO since now they lose Jordy Nelson. 2 steps forward and 2 steps back.

with you on that. should have cut cobb or even clay. also could possibly get decent tight end in draft. couple of nice ones this year.

I don't think Graham will be the help they need!

Rodgers to Graham could be nasty if he returns to form

Could work out for them

As a Bears fan I would rather the Packers cut Cobb over Nelson. Cobb turns 28 in August whereas Nelson turns 33 in May. Randall's still in his prime and if they used him as a punt returner again his value would increase markedly. Jordy's on the downswing of his career and though a fan favorite, he's closer to retirement than his prime.

Graham is a good signing for the team. I don't know how much he can do between the 20s anymore, but his red zone appeal is undeniable. Rodgers can be just as improvisational as Wilson but with a stronger arm to wing it in to tight spots means Graham doesn't have to get consistent separation which lessens the need for speed in his game. His range will make him a factor.
