Jimmy Graham is one of the hottest free-agent names in the NFL this offseason. And based on what the Green Bay Packers need heading into the 2018 season, there's a good chance Graham could be making Lambeau Field his home in 2018. Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News released his six best fits for the Seattle Seahawks tight end and the Packers made the cut. Here's a look at what Iyer had to say about Graham going to the Packers.

Martellus Bennett didn't work out last year as a replacement for Jared Cook. Here's the chance for the Packers do their limited bit of free-agency splurging with Aaron Rodgers most in mind. After what Graham has done with Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, he can stick with a top-flight passer on a team that expects to compete for a Super Bowl.

It's unlikely the Packers give Graham the three-year, $21 million pact they gave Bennett. The big hurdle is whether Graham would be willing to play on a short-term deal.

When it comes to Graham's market value, he will likely get a contract where he will be paid $6.7 million per year for the next three years. That would be a smaller deal than what they gave Bennett, but the Packers would likely see if he would sign a two-year deal because of his age (31 years old). But even if the Packers can't sign Graham, they still need help at the position, especially if they don't re-sign Richard Rodgers. Graham is not the same player he was when he was with the Saints or when he started with the Seahawks, but if the Packers do sign him, they get a tight end who can still make big plays in the red zone and he's going to be a player Aaron Rodgers is going to really enjoy.
