Top 25 NFL free agents for 2018

12. Jimmy Graham, TE, Seattle Seahawks

A disappointing, non-playoff season is bringing major winds of change for the Seattle Seahawks. Assistant coaches have been fired or are expected to leave, and a number of key defensive players carry injury or salary cap concerns into the offseason.

Seattle has 15 players who can become unrestricted free agents in March. That’s a pretty good amount of potential roster turnover, even without looming decisions to make on Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman, and Graham is expected to hit the open market.

Graham finished tied for second in the league with 10 receiving touchdowns this season. But his catch (57) and yardage (520) totals dropped from 2016 (65 and 923), as he averaged a dismal 9.1 yards per catch.

After being acquired from the New Orleans Saints for center Max Unger, Graham was an odd fit with the Seahawks and what was at the time a run-focused offense. A torn patella tendon in his right knee shortened his first season with the team in 2015, but Graham was healthy in time for the following season and he has played all 16 games in each of the last two seasons.

Graham’s decline in overall production could be due to age (31), the lingering effects of his significant 2015 knee injury or simple inconsistent use by the Seahawks. But plenty of teams will think the Saints version of Graham is still there somewhere, ready to be re-unleashed in the right offensive scheme with the right quarterback, even if it’s only in fleeting moments over a short window of his remaining peak years.
