plus 15 postseason
The Green Bay Packers have made a couple of major moves to change up the offense. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter Zach Miller Jersey , the team is signing Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham, but also releasing perennial star wideout Jordy Nelson:Packers intend to sign TE Jimmy Graham to a three-year deal, sources tell ESPN.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 13, 2018Packers are releasing WR Jordy Nelson, per source.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 13, 2018The Packers are hoping that Graham will finally supply this team with a legitimate tight end option. Martellus Bennett was signed to a three-year, $21 million contract last year - but was released mid-season.Graham was named to his fifth Pro Bowl in 2017, catching 57 passes for 520 yards and 10 touchdowns. He posted a pair of 1,000-yard seasons with the New Orleans Saints Star Lotulelei Jersey , but his three-year tenure with the Seattle Seahawks was very up-and-down, marred by injuries and inconsistency.But as Graham enters the Packer offense, Jordy Nelson leaves it. The 32-year-old spent 10 years in the organization. He was named to the 2014 Pro Bowl and helped Green Bay win Super Bowl 45.However, Nelson had a very down year (53 catches for 482 yards and six touchdowns), after posting at least 1,000 yards in four of the previous five years. Given his age (33), declining production and expensive salary, a release made sense for the Pack - who can now fill other roster holes with the freed up space.Green Bay missed the postseason for the first time in nine years this past season. Rodgers missed most of the season with a fractured collarbone, and the entire team fell apart. Seeing that the rival Minnesota Vikings signed Kirk Cousins Kyle Williams Jersey , the Packers front office had to make moves to keep pace in the NFC North.Graham will certainly help fix a Packer offense that lacks a strong ground game and is over-reliant on their receivers, namely Davanta Adams and Randall Cobb. Losing Nelson may be hard for many Packer fans to accept, but it probably was the logical move.Now, enjoy watching Rodgers and Graham light up the scoreboard.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — In a surprising move, the New York Giants released backup quarterback Davis Webb on Sunday.
That leaves inexperienced Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney behind Eli Manning who, of course, never has missed a game because of injury in his career.
New York also released vested veterans guard John Jerry and defensive back William Gay, and waived tight end Jerell Adams Brett Favre Jersey , wide receiver Hunter Sharp and defensive tackle Josh Banks.
That made room for defensive end Mario Edwards, Jr., wide receiver Kaelin Clay and center Spencer Pulley. They added defensive backs Antonio Hamilton, Mike Jordan and Kamrin Moore to a secondary that has been spotty. All were picked up off waivers.
Webb, a 2017 third-round draft choice who did not play in a regular-season game, was expected to be Manning’s backup. Webb had an inconsistent performance in three preseason games, but was included on the roster when cuts to the NFL roster maximum of 53 were made Saturday.
Jerry started every game for the Giants the previous two seasons, and his 39 consecutive starts made for the Giants’ longest active streak at the end of the 2017 season.
Gay, a 12-year veteran http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/rod-smith-jersey , had two five-year stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers sandwiched around a single season with the Arizona Cardinals. He has played in 176 consecutive regular-season games, plus 15 postseason contests.
Edwards played the previous three seasons for the Raiders, who selected him 35th overall in the 2015 draft. He has played in 30 regular-season games with 24 starts, with 68 tackles (48 solo), 5 1-2 sacks, three forced fumbles and three passes defensed.
NOTES: The Giants signed eight players to their practice squad, all of whom they released Saturday: linebackers Avery Moss and Calvin Munson; wide receivers Alonzo Russell and Jawill Davis; tight end Garrett Dickerson; defensive back Grant Haley; running back Jhurell Pressley; and tackle Victor Salako.
