Packers add yet another piece to an already stacked offense with veteran TE Marcedes Lewis

Green Bay ended up signing another tight end Thursday night with veteran Marcedes Lewis coming over from Jacksonville. He announced it himself via his Twitter. This now makes it three total tight ends on the roster along with Graham and Kendricks. The addition of Lewis makes the Packers offense even more dynamic and multidimensional. He’s one of the best blocking tight ends in the league and with struggles from the offensive line in Green Bay, Lewis can help shore that up on both the run and pass.

Lewis spent 11 seasons with the Jaguars from 2006-’17. At 6’6″, he’s yet another tall target for Aaron Rodgers. In his 11 year career, he’s caught 375 passes for 4,572 yards and 33 touchdowns at an average of 12 yards per catch. Having spent his career with mediocre to average quarterbacks, I’m sure he’s very happy to start catching passes from one of the best QBs, if not the best in the league today. Only time will tell, but it looks like Green Bay has improved in all facets of the game, at least on paper.

Before the Lewis signing, Green Bay had gone through Jermichael Finley, Andrew Quarless, Jared Cook, and most recently, Martellus Bennett, under Rodgers’ leadership. That’s a lot of tight ends. Hopefully, this signing helps Green Bay stay steady at the tight end position. They know how important that position is in a pass-heavy league with Aaron Rodgers. One thing is for sure, Green Bay’s offense is going to be a very tough one to stop this season.
