The Packers are interested in tight end Marcedes Lewis, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hears. With that in mind, Green Bay expects to meet with the free agent this week. 
The Jaguars released Lewis in March after 12 seasons with the team. Over the past six weeks, we’ve heard very little regarding the veteran.
“I think I deserved a little better than I got,” Lewis said after learning of his release. “I wish they would have done it sooner.”
Lewis, who just turned 34 last week, would be a logical fit for the Packers as they look for a quality blocking tight end. Lewis hasn’t topped 25 catches in each of the last five years, but he offers the protection and veteran leadership that the Packers are seeking.
Although he he has not been consistently used as a pass-catching weapon since 2012, Lewis still managed to appear in all 16 games as he reeled in 24 passes for 318 yards and five touchdowns. Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus ranked him as the league’s best run blocker, edging out Patriots star Rob Gronkowski.
The Packers already have Jimmy Graham and Lance Kendricks on board, but Graham does little in the way of blocking and Kendricks has been deployed mainly as an H-back int he past. Beyond those two, the Packers have a tight end group of young undrafted players including Robert Tonyan, Ryan Smith, and Kevin Rader.
Solid option to replace Dick Rodgers, get it!
This makes a ton of sense for both sides. Make it happen!
I’m a Vikings fan, and I think this makes sense for the Pack.
nice replacement for RICHARD Rodgers.
lol they deleted my post for calling him D*ck Rodgers, even though thats his name morons.
hehehe
The question is if they will make it a two for one signing by including Dez?
no
