Jimmy Graham will be playing NFL football for the New Orleans Saints more than a decade after they drafted him in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft .
The Saints announced on Tuesday that they have signed the 36-year-old Graham to a one-year contract.
“He looked great (in his workout). He’s in great shape. He wants to be here. He wants to play for the Saints,” New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said.
Graham last played for the Saints all the way back in 2014. The Miami (F) product earned three Pro Bowl trips with the Saints before being dealt to the Seattle Seahawks in a blockbuster ahead of the 2015 season.
Graham’s best performance came back in 2011 when he caught 99 passes for 1,310 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The star tight end did not suit up last season after playing for the Chicago Bears during the 2021 season.
Graham now joins a New Orleans Saints tight end group that includes Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau, the latter of whom is returning after a battle with cancer.
