2. Move On From Jimmy Graham For A Better Option
Secondly, the Packers have to move on from veteran tight end Jimmy Graham. Releasing him would save them a good chunk of cap space and there are plenty of players they could target to replace him.
Ideally, the Packers would be able to snag a talent like Brycen Hopkins or Cole Kmet in the second round of the NFL Draft. They could also look at a guy like Jacob Hollister in free agency. Either way, Rodgers has always loved utilizing his tight ends and Graham simply can’t find separation anymore.
Graham has served the Packers well at times, but there have also been way too many games where he hasn’t made an impact at all. With the money he is owed, the Packers simply cannot afford to bring him back unless he takes a major pay cut.
