After a two-year hiatus from professional football, 36-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham surprised the NFL world by signing a one-year contract with the first team he ever played for—the New Orleans Saints.
Graham, who spent the first five seasons of his career in New Orleans and made three Pro Bowls as one of Drew Brees’ most trusted targets, had fallen so far off fans’ radar that many assumed he was retired. In fact, when the initial announcement of his return hit, many originally thought he was signing a one-day contract to retire with the organization rather than returning full-time.
