The Green Bay Packers are bringing back one of the team’s most respected players in the locker room.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Packers are expected to re-sign veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis with a one-year deal worth $2.25 million.
Lewis, who turns 36 in May, caught 15 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown and was a vital blocker in the Packers’ running attack during the 2019 season.
The Packers have signed Lewis, once a Pro Bowler with the Jacksonville Jaguars, to three consecutive one-year deals.
Although limited athletically, Lewis could provide the Packers with a sturdy in-line tight end to help complement Jace Sternberger, a potential breakout candidate in 2020.
Over the past week, the Packers cut Jimmy Graham and brought back exclusive rights free agent Robert Tonyan.
