Morning Buzz: Packers add another weapon on offense

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with the Packers adding to their tight end depth chart by signing former Jaguar Marcedes Lewis.

From Tom Silverstein:

Entering his 13th season in the NFL, the 34-year-old free agent is regarded as one of the league's better blocking tight ends. That's an area of need for the Packers, who also signed Jimmy Graham, a prolific pass catcher but not known for his blocking ability.

Lewis, a 2006 first-round draft pick, hasn’t had more than 25 receptions in each of the last five seasons. Part of that could be due to the erratic play of Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles.

Lewis did catch five touchdown passes last season, his most since catching 10 during the 2010 season.

The Jaguars like to run the ball, and Lewis’ blocking has been a big help there during his 12 seasons in Jacksonville. At 6-6, 267 pounds, Lewis is roughly as big as former Packers free-agent acquisition Martellus Bennett, who was one of the best run-blocking tight ends in the NFL.
