Ever since the movie Three Billboards outside of Ebbing Missouri hit theaters, everyone is dropping tons cash on billboards. It’s the new latest thing to recruit athletes.
A billboard off Interstate 43 near Milwaukee is urging the Green Bay Packers to sign tight end Jimmy Graham in free agency.

Hey, Packers! Please sign Jimmy Graham!,” the sign reads.
Personal injury law firm Horlacher Necci paid for the sign.

“With the start of free agency right around the corner, we thought we’d throw our opinion into the mix!” a tweet from the company’s Twitter account said.

More than likely the Packers front office won’t even see a roadside billboard 100 miles to the south of Green Bay. Well it was worth a shot.
Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Graham would be a dangerous combo indeed. Check out some Jimmy highlights below. At time he looks like the best Tight End in the league.
UPDATE: Per Milwaukee Journal
The Packers reached a verbal agreement with tight end Jimmy Graham on Tuesday, according to a source, and plan to sign him when free agency opens Wednesday afternoon. To make room for Graham, general manager Brian Gutekunst released veteran wide receiver Jordy Nelson. The team announced Nelson’s departure in a news release.
