Tight end Jimmy Graham confirmed a report from the New Orleans Saints' team website that he plans to officially announce his retirement in the near future.

Graham, 38, is expected to make this announcement as a member of the Saints, with whom he spent the first five seasons of his career before rejoining the club in 2023 for his final 13 NFL games.

'What a journey,' the five-time Pro Bowl selection posted on X. He also included black and gold hearts and a praying hands emoji.

Graham recorded 719 receptions for 8,545 yards and 89 touchdowns in 197 career games with the Saints (2010-14, 2023), Seattle Seahawks (2015-17), Green Bay Packers (2018-19) and Chicago Bears (2020-21).

Graham, who did not play in 2024, was selected by New Orleans in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Including the playoffs, his 94 career touchdowns rank fifth all-time among tight ends.
