Quiet end to comeback season
Graham finished the 2023 regular season with six receptions (on seven targets) for 39 yards and four touchdowns in 13 appearances.
ANALYSIS
Graham was never expected to make much of an impact for the Saints this season after coming out of retirement to sign a one-year, $1.32 million contract in late July. The 37-year-old caught just one pass over the first seven weeks of the campaign while filling an extremely limited role behind tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. Graham temporarily fell out of this rotation when he missed four games in a row either with illness or as a healthy scratch. But, he got a chance again when the Saints' wide receiver corps was shorthanded with numerous injuries. Graham went on to catch one touchdown pass in three consecutive games from Week 13 to Week 15 while almost exclusively working as a target in the red zone. Graham then went without a target over the final three contests of the year, and it appears unlikely that he'll be re-signed by New Orleans this coming offseason.

Could be hanging up cleats
Graham posted a video on Instagram reflecting on his career, suggesting that he may have played his final NFL game.
ANALYSIS
The 37-year-old tight end is a free agent after signing a one-year contract last July to return to New Orleans, where he started his NFL career in 2010. Graham was surprisingly effective in a limited role, scoring four touchdowns despite catching only six total passes, and if he does decide to retire he would finish with 89 career TDs, fourth all-time among tight ends behind Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez and Rob Gronkowski.

Graham, now 36 years old, surprisingly signed with the Saints in July. In that context, he may need to compete for a roster spot in a crowded tight end corps that also includes Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill. Graham hasn't suited up for NFL action since the 2021 season, when he put up just a 14-167-3 receiving line in Chicago across 15 games. He wasn't signed to a club last year. Graham may not have more upside than as a situational end-zone target if he does make the team, but it will be fitting if he's able to finish out his career as a member of the Saints.
