The New Orleans Saints have signed tight end Jimmy Graham on a one-year deal.

Graham was originally drafted in the third round by the Saints back in 2010, where he spent five seasons before moving to the Seattle Seahawks.

After three years at Lumen Field he spent two seasons at both the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

Graham, now 36, did not play in 2022 but had hinted at a return to action back in April 2023.

Back in 2013, Graham led the NFL in receiving touchdowns, scoring 16 times off 86 receptions and totalling 1,215 yards along the way.

Graham's 51 total receiving touchdowns to date for the Saints is second of all time for the franchise, while he is sixth in total touchdowns, receptions and receiving yards.
