Multiple Sources: Pryor Signs Deal with Jets

Earlier tonight Ian Rapoport reported that the Jets were close to a deal with free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. Multiple sources have confirmed that the Jets and Pryor have agreed to terms.

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.
