NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are bringing back a former star Jimmy Graham. 

Graham spent his first five seasons in the NFL in the Black and Gold. In 12 seasons, he has caught 713 passes for 8,506 yards and 85 touchdowns. Graham has also been selected to the Pro Bowl five times.

The Saints said it was a one-year deal. 

General manager Mickey Loomis also spoke on the signing saying, "it came down to a need on our part and a desire on his part to play this year. And we got a role that fits him and fits us."

“Can’t wait to see y’all at Training Camp and in the Dome. Love you guys!” Graham said in a tweet.

He last played in the NFL in 2021 for the Chicago Bears.
