Packers release TE Jimmy Graham

I mean, for what it's worth, he hasn't been very good since at least 2014. Like, even the one "good" year he had in Seattle was just decent statistically and less impressive as far as the eye test goes. He's just another product of Sean Payton and the most productive passer in NFL history.

Aaron Rodgers is a not a QB who feeds his TEs.

  • Cook had 1 TD in 2016
  • The one exception was Richard Rodgers with 8 TDs the year that Jordy Nelson went down in preseason.
    • 8 of 31 TDs in 2015
  • Finley did have 8 TDs in 2011 but that was 8 of 49 TDs (one of those came in the 'Matt Flynn gets paid!' game)
  • This does not make Rodgers a bad QB. When you have the awesome WRs he had in the 2008-2015 range then of course you lean on those WRs.

Graham had 10 TDs when Wilson was his QB 3 years ago.

 

Here are 7 logical spots (6 if Brady goes to Tennessee or Dallas)

  • Go back to Seattle and be a 1-2 punch with Olsen (or the guy when Olsen gets hurt again)
    • Graham has only missed 7 games in 10 years
  • Go back to New Orleans for the last hurrah with Brees
  • Wait for Brady's decision and be Brady's guy for a couple of years.
  • Go to Tennessee and be a crazy #2 to go along with Jonnu Smith.
  • Go to the Cowboys because they need a top end TE badly.  (please don't do this)
  • Go to KC and help make a push for 19-0
  • Go to Atlanta on the Tony Gonzalez plan as a replacement for Hooper

The problem is that our need for receivers is because all we have are big bodied possession receivers. He’d be an extra body but his skill set is really similar to some guys we already have. 
 

Unless it’s the vet minimum, I don’t see him coming back to New Orleans... and even then I’m not sure. We’ll have Jared Cook and Josh Hill at TE, with Taysom stealing snaps from Josh already.
