It looks like the New England Patriots are getting a badly needed addition to their wide receivers core. After trading away Brandin Cooks to Los Angeles Rams, and losing Danny Amendola in the free agency, the Patriots are now reportedly working on a deal to sign former Buffalo Bills WR Jordan Matthews. According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, the Pats have offered Matthews a one-year deal, and the signing should be made official in the upcoming days.
Jordan Matthews spent the 2017 season with the Bills, but due to various injuries, he played only 10 games. The 25-year-old ended the season in December when he decided to undergo surgeries on his right ankle and left knee. He had 25 catches for 282 yards alongside one touchdown, all career lows.
Philadelphia Eagles drafted Jordan Matthews in the 2014 NFL draft with the 42nd pick, after trading up to get him. He played in all 16 games in his rookie season and had 67 catches for 872 yards alongside eight touchdowns. After another good season, Matthews’ form dropped in his third year with the Eagles, so the team decided to send him to Buffalo Bills alongside a third-rounder in exchange for cornerback Ronald Darby.
