What happened
The New York Jets have agreed to terms with veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick, who visited the team on Wednesday, per Adam Schefter. Patrick spent the 2025 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, appearing in 16 games and recording 15 catches for 187 yards and 3 touchdowns. He brings a big-bodied 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame with inside-outside flexibility to the receiver room.
Why it matters
Patrick gives the Jets a veteran presence and red-zone target to round out a wide receiver group ahead of the 2026 season. His size and route versatility offer the offense a different dimension alongside the team's younger pass catchers. The signing reflects New York's continued effort to stabilize the position with proven NFL contributors rather than relying solely on draft additions like Omar Cooper.
The data edge
2025 with Jacksonville: 16 games, 15 receptions, 187 yards, 3 TDs. Listed at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds. No contract terms disclosed at time of report.
What to watch
Watch for contract details and how Patrick fits into the depth chart as OTAs progress. His red-zone usage will be a key tell on his projected role in the 2026 offense.
