Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said he’d leave “no stone unturned” in terms of player acquisition. So far, it sounds like the Packers are living up to his word.
With the #LegalTampering period of free agency underway, the Packers are reportedly interested in a trio of pass catchers on the free-agent market: Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson, Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins and Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Packers and Bears have interest in Watkins, if he’s unable to reach an agreement to stay in Los Angeles. Last week, Pro Football Focus labeled Green Bay as the “dream destination” for Watkins.
Rapoport also suggested the Packers could “dip their toe into (the) waters” on Robinson.
And with a hole at tight end — with Lance Kendricks as the only veteran under contract — the Packers have already “reached out” to Graham, according to Mike Garafolo.

On top of that, Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell believes it’s down to the Packers or the New Orleans Saints.
League source: Jimmy Graham expected to sign with either Saints, in a reunion, or the Packers. Either way, long gone from #Seahawks. Too expensive for SEA.

So, how much of this is real? Is it #FakeNews? We’ll discuss on The Fan.
