Graham was the team's fourth-round pick from Wisconsin in the 2010 NFL Draft.
He gets a 4-year contract worth $2,590,100 which includes his signing bonus of $800,100.
Graham led the Badgers in touchdown receptions with seven in 2009.
Aaron Glenn was part of the Houston Texans when they launched as an expansion franchise eight years ago.
Now, he'll conclude his NFL career as a member of the Texans two years after playing in his last NFL game.
The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback is set to sign a one-day contract with the Texans on Wednesday, the team announced.
Glenn is a former New York Jets draft pick who has also played for the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, new Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys and the New Orleans Saints jerseys.
Free-agent guard Chester Pitts, a longtime starter for the new Houston Texans jerseys, will continue to visit teams this week, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora on Tuesday.
Pitts' itinerary this week includes stops in Pittsburgh, Seattle and Denver, the source said.
The Buffalo Bills hosted Pitts at their facility Monday, according to the team's official Web site.
The Bills are looking for offensive line depth, the Web site noted. Andy Levitre and Eric Wood -- both rookies last season -- are the starting guards, but only Kirk Chambers has notable NFL experience behind them.

Colts were not making a shift in their offensive line
A key point in Hart's musings is that, regardless of size or strength, the Colts jerseys will (in general) keep the best 53 on the active roster. However, as the club shifts further and further away from the Tony Dungy-way of doing things, we are seeing more of an emphasis on size and strength over speed and quickness. I personally would argue that this new philosophy change (and yes, it is a change) is being done at the expense of keeping better players on the roster.
How else do you explain Ryan Lilja getting surprisingly cut back in March? It certainly wasn't because he sucked.
Almost three months ago, Colts football jerseys General Manager Chris (son of Bill) Polian went on local Indy radio and talked about how the Colts were not making a shift in their offensive line philosophy despite the actions of the team screaming they were. Chis even compared this year's changes with the o-line with last year's changes with the d-line, which did little to help explain his odd refusal to call the changes a "shift." In the case of the d-line last year, the changes made were a pretty dramatic from the norm. Normal starters at defensive tackle like Eric Foster (265 pounds), Keyunta Dawson (260 pounds), and Raheem Brock (275 pounds) were replaced by Daniel Muir (305 pounds) and Antonio Johnson (310 pounds).
Pretty big "shift," huh.
But, whatever. I'm not going to get into a argument with Chris Polian over something like this. I just think it's silly trying to hide or underscore a pretty obvious change in team philosophy; a change that even Colts players like Mike Hart are openly talking about. My hope is that bigger linemen like Jacques McClendon can pick up the slack left by cutting Lilja; a move that still puzzles me.
It's important to note that speed is still held at a high premium in Indianapolis, which is critical. You win in this league with speed. Fly to the football, gang tackle, and punish the ball-carrier. It's the foundation the Colts are built on, and it's a winning formula.
Several other Sprint Cup Series drivers also had early problems Donald Brown in the 160-lap race, perhaps after their cars ran over debris left from the first-lap crash. Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were among those making early, unexpected pit stops that pushed them deep into the 43-car field.
Montoya, the race pole-sitter, led most of the early laps in his No. 42 Chevrolet but developed a tire problem and was forced to pit on lap 38 to have all four tires changed.
But when the other leaders made normal, green-flag pit stops after that, Montoya stayed on the track and resumed the lead on a warm, partly cloudy day at the famed 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Greg Biffle was running second and Mark Martin was third. Jimmie Robert Mathis Johnson, a three-time Brickyard 400 winner who started on the outside of the front row, was eighth.

Houston Texans teamed up to present Playing It Safe
Financial terms of the deal were not announced.
Jones was released in training camp last season by the Houston Texans and did not appear in an NFL game.
The 29-year-old was a fourth round selection by the New York Jets in 2004 and appeared in 44 games, 16 as a starter -- all in 2005 -- in four seasons before being waived in 2007.
He then hooked on with Kansas City and played in 11 games, 10 as a starter, for the Chiefs in 2008.
To make room for Jones on the roster, the Steelers placed offensive Steve Slaton tackle Willie Colon on the reserved/injured list. Colon suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last month and underwent surgery to repair the damage.
The Methodist Hospital System and the new Houston Texans jerseys teamed up to present Playing It Safe, an interactive program designed to educate high school athletes on the importance of sports injury awareness.
Athletes from Travis, Elkins and Hightower high schools had the opportunity to meet and interact with former Houston Texans kick returner J.J. Moses and Methodist athletic trainer Angela Byrd, as well as Methodist physicians Timothy Sitter and Christopher Smith, who shared their knowledge of the industry and tips on how to become and stay a well-rounded, healthy athlete.
Moses shared his story of what it's like to be a professional athlete and spoke on the Brian Cushing importance of working hard, doing well in school and preparing for games. He also shared several qualities that help students deal with an injury and tips on how to successfully return from an injury.
"This program has allowed representatives from Methodist and me to talk to the student athletes about the importance of overcoming adversity to become great athletes and do great things in life," said Moses.
Byrd, athletic trainer for Methodist Orthopaedic Specialists of Texas football jerseys, emphasized the need for proper stretching, strength and conditioning and expressed the importance of staying away from steroids and other performance enhancing drugs
The answer to the question? Technically, no one. The Texans ran a 3-4 in '05 and didn't transition to a 4-3 until Kubiak (and Richard Smith!) rode into town before the 2006 season.
