GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Marcedes Lewis and Byron Bell are tied to each other for one reason: They signed with the Green Bay Packers after most of the veteran free agents had already found jobs.
That's where the similarities end for the pair of late-May signings.
The 34-year-old Lewis joined a new team for the first time after he spent his first 12 years with Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 29-year-old Bell is on his fourth team in seven years.
Lewis joined a tight end group that already included one of the top-free agent acquisitions, Jimmy Graham, and fellow veteran Lance Kendricks -- a group that Lewis said is "gonna be trouble" for defenses.
