Free agents Packers should avoid: Brandon Graham, Edge

The Packers could benefit from adding a situational pass rusher to their edge rotation. We don’t know if Rashan Gary will be ready for the start of the season following a season-ending ACL tear he suffered last year. Even if he’s good to go, they are short on depth with Preston Smith and Kingsley Enagbare as the only proven players on the roster.

Graham will be 35 entering next season, but has still had some effective seasons recently. Unfortunately, his age and recent injury history (he tore his chilies in 2021) are reasons to worry he could soon fall off a cliff. His value will likely be inflated due to his run with the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl and Green Bay should hit the bargain bin elsewhere.
