GREEN BAY — Marcedes Lewis sometimes seemed like the forgotten man during his first season with the Green Bay Packers.

Now he’ll get another chance with a new head coach, a new offensive scheme and an offensive coordinator who knows him and his skill set.

The Packers and the veteran tight end agreed to terms on a one-year contract Wednesday, an NFL source confirmed after ESPN was first to report the deal. The agreement was reached after close of business Wednesday, so it wasn’t done in time for the official NFL transaction wire.

Lewis, who turns 35 in May, signed a one-year deal with the Packers last year after 12 seasons in Jacksonville but was used primarily as a blocker by former head coach Mike McCarthy. Lewis played in all 16 games last season but was targeted just four times and caught three passes for 39 yards.

By returning, Lewis is reunited with Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was his coordinator and play-caller in Jacksonville in 2016 and ’17, when Lewis had 44 receptions for 487 yards and six touchdowns.
