Source confirms the Jets and WR Terrelle Pryor have agreed to a deal, as @calvinwatkins reported. Jets wanted to add competition in the WR corps. They just did. Will be interesting if he can regain 2016 form if healthy again #NYJ

Pryor is a very interesting story. He was the starting quarterback for Ohio State, and was drafted by the Raiders, as a quarterback, in the 3rd round of the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft. He never had success as a quarterback and he bounced around the league his first few years, also spending time with the Seahawks, Chiefs and Bengals. In 2015 he decided that it was time to switch positions and he became a wide receiver. In 2016 he had over 1,000 yards and seemed to be emerging. Last year with the Redskins he battled an ankle injury before undergoing arthroscopic surgery, he was place on I.R. in November.
Pryor, who is 28 years old, is a big receiver, he is listed at 6′ 4″ and 228lbs. He will be penciled in at or very near the top of the Jets depth chart.
