Jimmy Graham rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency

As we hit the offseason for the 2018 NFL season, let us take a look at five possible landing spots for free agent tight end Jimmy Graham.

During his time with the New Orleans Saints, Jimmy Graham established himself as one of the best tight ends in the NFL. After leaving the Bayou, Graham struggled to get things going with the Seattle Seahawks, but has been a Pro Bowl player in each of the last two seasons. As he heads to free agency, there is certain to be plenty of teams clamoring for his services, even though he is 31-years old.

With the 2018 NFL Draft right around the corner, and NFL free agency starting heat up, we take a look at five possible landing spots for the five-time Pro Bowler.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

Incredibly, the Jacksonville Jaguars made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game last season, as they shocked the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round. As the team heads into 2018, they have some holes to fill, and one is at the tight end position. The team has already made a significant commitment to quarterback Blake Bortles, so it would make sense to bring in a pass-catching tight end this offseason.

The Jaguars do already have Marcedes Lewis on the team, but he has caught 25 or less balls in each of his last five seasons with the team. While he is a career Jag, there is no doubt that Graham would be a significant upgrade over him at the position. The Jaguars are going to pound the ball with Leonard Fournette next season, but Graham could give them a wrinkle they have not had in a long time.

If the Jaguars want to stay competitive in the AFC next season, they have to get better in a bunch of spots. The addition of Graham would not only open up the run game, but it would also help Bortles cut down on the mistakes, especially in the red zone. He is getting up there in age, but he is still a physical freak, and could easily catch 50-plus balls in this Jaguars offense next season.
