The New York Jets signed veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick but he faces competition for a roster spot. Patrick, 32, recorded limited stats last season and is not guaranteed a place on the 53-man roster.
The New York Jets signed veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick earlier this week. They've already made room on the 90-man roster for him by releasing undrafted kicker Will Ferrin.
The veteran Patrick won't be guaranteed a roster spot with the Jets.
Familiarity probably helped bring Patrick to the Jets. The veteran wideout possesses ties to general manager Darren Mougey (Denver Broncos) and head coach Aaron Glenn (Detroit Lions). At 32 years old, Patrick is well-past his prime, having recorded just 15 receptions for 187 yards and three touchdowns for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.
Patrick probably faces an uphill battle to actually make the roster though. Garrett Wilson is the No. 1 wideout on the team. The Jets drafted Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft to come in and hopefully complement Wilson as the second option.
Midseason acquisition Adonai Mitchell also concluded strong and returns to the lineup with a role. The Jets also have sophomore fourth-round pick Arian Smith, who needs to show growth. Patrick could possibly compete for the WR5-6 spots, but he'll have to prove he can play special teams.
Patrick adds depth, familiarity, and experience to the Jets' receiving core, but he should have to earn a 53-man roster spot.
