The Green Bay Packers have signed Chicago Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller to an offer sheet [url=http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-cam-fowler-jersey]Adidas Cam Fowler Jersey[/url] , a person familiar with the situation said Friday.

Fuller is the Bears' transition player, and the tag gives Chicago five days to match the offer.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team has announced the signing. The Chicago Tribune first reported the move.

The 26-year-old Fuller is considered a key player for Chicago's defense. The tag announced last week guarantees Fuller $12.9 million next season.

The Bears the face the possibility of letting Fuller go to their NFC North rival if they don't match the offer.

The Packers on Friday also officially announced the signing of free agent Jimmy Graham, the 6-foot-7 tight end who gives quarterback Aaron Rodgers a big target over the middle. Graham has 556 catches and 69 touchdown receptions in eight NFL seasons.

He posted a heartfelt note on Twitter on Friday thanking the Seahawks organization and teammates for his three years in Seattle.

Graham's arrival in Green Bay coincided with the release of longtime receiver Jordy Nelson, who has since joined the Oakland Raiders.

This has been a busier-than-normal start to the offseason for Green Bay in Brian Gutekunst's first year as general manager. The Packers have also signed defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson and acquired backup quarterback Deshone Kizer from the Cleveland Browns for cornerback Damarious Randall.

With Dez Bryant gone, the Dallas Cowboys have to decide if they will use their top pick on a receiver for the first time since taking him eight years ago.

The answer on going that high to get another target for quarterback Dak Prescott, as it was before Bryant's release this month, is an emphatic "maybe." Dallas has the 19th pick in the first round Thursday night.

"I think we recognize that we've got a hole to fill with Dez," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday. "Those receivers we'll have rated first, second [url=http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-patrik-laine-jersey]Adidas Patrik Laine Jersey[/url] , third, fourth, fifth-round receivers, we'll have them rated with or without Dez at those levels."

Dallas decided that Bryant's dramatic decline in production in the three years since he signed a $70 million contract made him not worth the $12.5 million he would have been owed in 2018.

Early in the offseason, Jones also alluded to what he called the distraction of the drama that sometimes surrounded the emotional Bryant.

The Cowboys made a strong play for Sammy Watkins, who chose Kansas City in free agency. They added Allen Hurns, who showed potential as a top target in Jacksonville but never had the numbers to support that label. Dallas also signed journeyman Deonte Thompson.

Some of the top receivers in the draft visited the Cowboys, including Alabama's Calvin Ridley and D.J. Moore of Maryland. Another intriguing prospect, Courtland Sutton [url=http://www.edmontonoilersteamshops.com/authentic-ryan-mcleod-jersey]Ryan McLeod Oilers Jersey[/url] , played a few miles from the home of the Cowboys at SMU.

Even without a few rookies, the receiver room will be crowded in the offseason and at training camp with the Cowboys trying to get back to the playoffs after missing last season coming off an NFC-best 13 wins in 2016, when Prescott was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Terrance Williams, the No. 2 receiver behind Bryant the past five years, returns, although he had offseason surgery for a broken right foot and isn't expected to be ready until camp. Cole Beasley and Ryan Switzer, both slot receivers, figure to have roster spots, with Switzer as the primary kick return man.

Noah Brown [url=http://www.authenticsnewyorkjets.com/cheap-clive-walford-jersey]Clive Walford Jersey Elite[/url] , a seventh-round pick last year, had an increasing role late in the season.

"When you lose a player the stature of Dez, obviously he was a No. 1 receiver, he was paid like he was a No. 1, and you don't replace that," executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said on his radio show last week.

"Obviously we're not going to do it that way with the group that we have now. There's a lot of teams that go about it with numbers and with different skillsets."

Here are some things to consider with the Cowboys hosting the draft for the first time, and with the draft in a stadium for the first time:

OTHER NEEDS

Linebacker stands out because of Sean Lee's history with injuries and lingering uncertainty over Jaylon Smith's recovery from a devastating knee injury from college. The Cowboys also decided to let the steady and versatile Anthony Hitchens go in free agency, the second straight year they've turned a key defender loose. Last year, it was safety Barry Church [url=http://www.buccaneerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-jordan-whitehead-jersey]Cheap Jordan Whitehead Jersey[/url] , and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Cowboys target that position first.

PICKS RUNDOWN

The Cowboys have 10 picks, with multiple selections in the fourth and sixth rounds. A trade would be more likely if they had multiple picks in an earlier round, but Jerry Jones has never been afraid to move up or down on draft night. Dallas moved up three spots to get Bryant at No. 24 in 2010.

HITS, MISSES AND BARGAINS

Dallas has one of the NFL's best offensive lines because of first-round choices Travis Frederick (2013) and Zack Martin (2014). Ezekiel Elliott was the NFL rushing leader as a rookie in 2016 after going fourth overall, the highest pick for the Cowboys in 25 years. Prescott is easily the biggest bargain as a fourth-rounder the same year Dallas got Elliott.

Defensive Randy Gregory didn't work as a second-round gamble in 2015 when he tested positive for marijuana at the combine. He was suspended all last season.

The Cowboys just picked up the fifth-year option on the rookie contract of defensive back Byron Jones, picked ahead of Gregory. Jones, who is moving back to cornerback from safety, has two years to try to live up to first-round billing after falling short so far.
