The New York Jets continued adding veteran depth to the roster on Thursday by agreeing to terms with wide receiver Tim Patrick. The move gives the Jets another experienced option in the wide receiver room as Aaron Glenn and the new coaching staff continue shaping the offense around veteran quarterback Geno Smith heading into the 2026 season.
Patrick appeared in all 16 games for Jacksonville last season and brings versatility with the ability to line up both inside and outside. The Jets announced the signing on Thursday evening and you can read the full release from the team here: Jets sign Tim Patrick.
The Jets have signed WR Tim Patrick and released K Will Ferrin.
Patrick (6-5, 210) appeared in 16 regular season games (3 starts) for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season and had 15 receptions for 187 yards (12.5 per) and 3 touchdowns. In 2024, Patrick played 16 games (9 starts) with the Detroit Lions and totaled 33 receptions, 394 yards (11.9 per) and 3 touchdowns.
General manager Darren Mougey was in Denver when Patrick (32) started his professional career. The Utah product, who went undrafted in 2017, signed with the Broncos and played four seasons in Denver. He recorded 191 receptions, 2,590 receiving yards (13.6 per) and 18 TDs from 2018-22. Patrick missed the 2022 and ’23 campaigns due to a torn ACL and torn Achilles, respectively.
Ferrin (6-3, 175) signed with the Jets as a undrafted free agent at the start of May. Ferrin kicked for BYU for the last 3 seasons after beginning his career at Boise State. During his time with the Cougars he made 58-of-71 field-goal attempts and led the Big 12 in field goals made the last 2 seasons.
