The Green Bay Packers made some notable moves this offseason to the offensive side of the ball. One of which was bringing aboard Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham on a three-year, $30 million deal via free agency.

Prior to the decision, there were several teams that voiced their interest in acquiring the 31-year-old. According to Tom Silverstein of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Graham revealed on Tuesday that he actually turned down more money to sign with the Packers.

This move was made simply on the basis of signing with the team that would provide him the best chance to win his first Super Bowl. The opportunity to play with a star quarterback like Aaron Rodgers was too much to pass up on.

Graham has an opportunity to produce at the elite level he did with the New Orleans Saints, establishing himself as one of the premier tight ends in the NFL by recording four straight campaigns with at least 85 receptions, 850 receiving yards, and at least nine touchdowns. Although his production dipped a bit in his time with the Seattle Seahawks, he remained a highly productive factor in the passing game.

He is coming off a productive campaign where he hauled in 57 catches for 520 receiving yards with 10 touchdown receptions, marking the fourth time in his career that he has tallied 10 or more touchdown receptions. This also helped him become the all-time leader at his position in franchise history, ranking first in catches (170), receiving yards (2,048), and touchdown receptions (18).

There is a chance that he can quickly develop into one of the primary targets in the passing game for Rodgers that could help elevate the Packers back into playoff contention. The departure of former Pro Bowl wide receiver Jordy Nelson is a significant blow, but Graham should more than fill that void next season and beyond.
