With his time in Seattle now over and impending free agency, here’s a look at the five best fits for Jimmy Graham and where he might end up.
With free agency upon us, there are a lot of big names left out there. There were players who are looking for a change of scenery and those who failed to repeat past success. Looking at the pool of tight ends, there aren’t a lot of big names. The biggest of them all has to be Jimmy Graham.
At age 31, Graham is not only one of the best tight-ends in the game but one of the tallest. His height, a whopping 6-7, has made the tight end a desirable commodity. Obviously, his height played a huge factor in him being able to make impossible catches and being a favorite target of Russell Wilson and Drew Brees.
Traded back in 2015, Graham never came close to the success he found in New Orleans. His time in Seattle was marred by injury along with poor offensive line play and general, lack of opportunities for him. While neither party has spoken out, it seems the two came to a mutual decision to part ways.
For the first time in his career, Graham is getting the chance to choose where he ends up. It has to be a good feeling, but five teams, in particular, stand out. Before Graham hits the free agency market, here’s a look at five landing spots for the talented tight end.
