There are a number of potential tight ends that the Washington Redskins could choose to target in the 2020 free agency period, and one more name might be added to the list soon.
So far we have players like Hunter Henry, Greg Olsen, Austin Hooper, and Eric Ebron. Now it’s starting to look like Jimmy Graham might be up for grabs as well.
According to a report from Rotoworld Football, the Green Bay Packers are expected to move on from Graham this offseason, though he still has one year left on his contract. Graham has spent the last two years in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but he hasn’t quite lived up to the expectations he built as a young player.
Starting his career with the New Orleans Saints, Graham had 51 total touchdowns in the first five years of his career. After leaving to join the Seattle Seahawks, Graham’s production started to drop off, and he’s totaled just 22 touchdowns in the five years since.
Still, Graham is a big-bodied receiver that has proven before what he can do when given the opportunity, Should the Redskins miss out on some of the top names that we mentioned above, it’s highly possible that they could take a shot on Graham and hope that he returns to his younger form. Whether it be by trade or signing, a path exists for Graham to end up in Washington ahead of the 2020 season. Even if he doesn’t return to what he once was in New Orleans, the version we’ve seen in years past in both Seattle and Green Bay would be a great improvement over what the Redskins currently have at the TE position.
