New Orleans and Green Bay were the finalists for Graham’s service but the ex-Saints All-Pro decided to join the third team of his pro career. The 31-year old Miami (FL) product was traded by New Orleans to Seattle in March 2015.
Former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler intends to sign with the Titans, reports NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport:
The #Titans are signing CB Malcolm Butler on a 5-year contract worth more than $61M with more than $30M guaranteed, source said. Wow.

A reported trade target for the Saints last offseason, Butler started most of the season at cornerback for the Patriots, but he was surprisingly benched during Super Bowl 52.
