As the Green Bay Packers prepare to begin training camp, there are still quite a few questions the team must answer. One of those questions comes at the tight end position, where Green Bay is unsure exactly what they have. Gone are the days of the Jimmy Graham experiment, with the Packers releasing him earlier this offseason and him ending up with the Chicago Bears.

Currently, the Packers have a few tight ends on the roster. Jace Sternberger is the projected starter, with Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan also in the mix. Green Bay also selected Cincinnati tight end Josiah Deguara in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, although he is not an ideal starter and could play more of a fullback role.

Brian Gutekunst and company might very well be comfortable with the situation they have at tight end. However, there is a good chance that the Packers are open to the idea of making a move to bring in a better option — if that option comes at the right price.

Enter former Washington Redskins star Jordan Reed, who is still sitting in free agency hoping for an opportunity to arise. He has dealt with a plethora of concussion issues, but is still optimistic he will sign another NFL contract. Teams have been leery about picking him up due to his history, but he remains an intriguing option for the Packers.

Reed missed the entire 2019 season after suffering his most recent concussion. Back in 2018, however, he played 13 games for the Redskins and caught 54 passes for 558 yards and two touchdowns. The year before, in 2017, Reed only played in six games before going down with injury.

Injuries and missed games have been the story of Reed's career so far. In 2016, he played in 12 games and in 2015 he played 14. During that 2015 season, Reed was one of the top tight ends in the NFL, racking up 87 receptions for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Let's take a look at why the Packers should consider signing him.

Why The Packers Should Consider Giving Jordan Reed A Chance

Quite simply, the Packers need more help on the offense side of the ball. Aaron Rodgers was hoping to see the franchise target a wide receiver in free agency or the NFL Draft. Green Bay did bring in Devin Funchess, but they passed on bringing in a young weapon via the draft.

Sternberger is considered to be a breakout candidate, but no one truly knows what he has to offer. The Packers selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft but missed the majority of his rookie season with injury. Lewis, Tonyan, and Deguara all have talent as well, but none of them are ideal options for a starting tight end.

Granted, Reed would come with the concern of potentially suffering another concussion that could end his career. But, if the Packers are truly going to go all-in for a Super Bowl, taking risks will be necessary.

At 29 years old, Reed still has time to turn things around. If he can stay healthy, he could easily become a lethal receiving threat in a Packers offense that loves utilizing tight ends. Rodgers has always enjoyed throwing to tight ends who can make plays down the field, which is exactly what Reed is capable of doing.

Throughout his time with the Redskins, Reed always played more like a receiver than a tight end. That is a missing element to the Packers offense.

Signing Reed would be a move that could give the Packers their missing piece. He could come in and be an impact player who takes the offense to the next level. On the other hand, if he can't stay healthy, Green Bay could move on without significant future financial implications.

Green Bay may have no interest in making a move at the tight end position. They could go into 2020 hoping that Sternberger breaks out and proves that he is a starting-caliber player. Or, they could sign Reed and hope that the veteran tight end can resurrect his career.

Neither option is 100 percent ideal, but the Packers need to swing for the fences and signing Reed would be that kind of move, albeit relatively low-risk.
