The Jets have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with wide receiver Tim Patrick, per multiple reports.
The Jets have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with wide receiver Tim Patrick , per multiple reports. The deal is worth slightly more than the veteran salary benefit which goes for $1. 075 million, per The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt .
Patrick had interest from other teams around the league, but the Jets scooped him up before anybody else as they view him as a culture guy and a quality veteran depth piece at a position that needs it, per Rosenblatt. Along with Garrett Wilson , New York’s depth chart at wide receiver includes AD Mitchel l, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. , Arian Smith , punt returner Isaiah Williams , Irvin Charles and a few others.
At 32 years old and entering his seventh NFL season, Patrick will immediately become the elder statesman of the group. After playing four years with the Denver Broncos where he began his career, the veteran missed the 2022 and 2023 seasons, first with a torn ACL and then because of a torn Achilles. Patrick returned to action in 2024 and played for the Detroit Lions before spending last year with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he caught 15 passes for 187 yards and three TDs in 16 games.
His best years, though, came in Denver. Between 2020 and 2021, Patrick combined for 1,476 receiving yards on 104 receptions to go along with 11 TDs in 31 games (all starts). In his career, the veteran has accrued 2,590 receiving yards on 191 receptions and 18 TDs in 87 games.
