Packers reportedly plan to move on from five-time Prowl Bowl TE Jimmy Graham

Tight end Jimmy Graham plans to continue playing, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be back with the Packers in 2020. The Packers plan to move on from him and the final part of his three-year, $30M deal, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.  Graham is currently the league’s highest-paid tight end on a per-year basis. And he’s set to count for an $11.6M cap figure. The Packers, in all likelihood, will terminate the deal in order to save $8M against $3.6M in dead money. A trade may also be possible, though Graham is well past his best years. Across 10 campaigns with the Saints, Seahawks and Packers, Graham went to the Pro Bowl five times. In 2013, he was also a First-Team All-Pro as he led the league with 16 touchdown catches. Last year, Graham stayed healthy — it was his fourth straight season with 16 games played — but he wasn’t able to play up to his contract. After he registered just 38 catches for 447 yards and three scores, the Packers are ready to move on. [RELATED: Jared Veldheer To Continue Playing] As
