GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The two moves may have occurred independent of each other, but the Green Bay Packers' decision to sign Jimmy Graham and cut Jordy Nelson will forever be linked.
It’s a good bet the Packers would have moved on from Nelson whether or not they pursued -- and eventually came to an agreement with -- Graham on Tuesday.
Regardless, the 2018 season will be a comparison of what Graham does for the Packers’ offense to what those who believe Nelson still had something left in the tank think he could have given them.
