METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints are bringing back tight end Jimmy Graham after an eight year absence and have also reached a one-year deal with five-time Pro Bowl guard Trai Turner on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old Graham, also a five-time Pro Bowl selection, signed a one year-deal with the Saints, reuniting him with the team that drafted him in 2010.
Graham had some of the most successful years of his career with the Saints before he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 offseason in exchange for center Max Unger and a first-round pick that year.

Turner, a New Orleans native, reached a one-year deal with the Saints, his agents told ESPN.
