Veteran wideout Terrelle Pryor failed to find a team to play with last season, but he hopes things will be different in 2020. According to Pryor, he is actively working on a comeback and already had talks with several interested teams.

Pryor started 2019 with Jacksonville Jaguars, but the hamstring issues prompted the team to released him before he played a single snap. The 31-year-old veteran’s last NFL appearances came in Week 9 and Week 10 of the 2018 season with Buffalo Bills.

Pryor could now play for Bills’ division rivals, as he told TMZ that New England Patriots are eyeing his services.

“There have been conversations with a couple—five teams,” said Pryor. “My representatives) spoke to the Patriots last week, I believe. A lot of the teams are not really dealing with bringing in players because of the COVID situation.”

Pryor would especially be interested in suiting up with Patriots due to his appreciation for the franchise’s new signal-caller Cam Newton. He would also like to play in his hometown of Pittsburgh with the Steelers.

“Those two are very intriguing,” he added. “Especially Cam. I’ve been a big fan of him throughout the years … And, obviously, Big Ben, that’s my hometown of Pittsburgh, so that’s just two teams that I really want to play for.”

Terrelle Pryor entered the league as Oakland Raiders’ third-round pick in 2011 Supplemental Draft. Pryor spent his first four years in the league as a quarterback but decided to switch to WR in 2015 after not seeing much action on his primary position.

Pryor’s best season as a wideout came in 2016 with Cleveland Browns, when he managed 77 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns. The combination of injuries and inconsistency stopped him from replicating this success and he managed less than 500 yards receiving since then during stints with Washington, New York Jets, and Bills.

The Jacksonville Jaguars added another wide receiver to a position group that is full of potential, but with few sure things.

Jacksonville added veteran wideout Terrelle Pryor to their roster after signing him to a one-year deal on Monday.

Pryor, who was drafted as a quarterback out of Ohio State by the Raiders in the 2011 NFL Draft, has spent the majority of his pro career as a wide receiver.

The 29-year-old played last season with the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. He caught only 16 passes for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns in a disappointing 2018 campaign.

The NFL veteran had his best season after making the transition to receiver in the 2016 season for the Cleveland Browns. This year, he broke the thousand-yard mark with 1,007 receiving yard sale and 7 touchdowns.

He has thus far been unable to replicate this success.

Jacksonville is willing, however, to give the wideout a short-term deal to see if he can regain the magic that he found in 2016.

Specific terms of the deal are yet to be announced.

While most NFL teams shake up their roster after loses, Buffalo Bills decided to do it after a 41-10 win over New York Jets. Bills released quarterback Nathan Peterman on Monday, and then followed that up by releasing veteran wide receiver Terrelle Pryor on Tuesday.

Bill’s decision to release Nathan Peterman, who was a starter at the beginning of the season, isn’t a surprise considering the 24-year-old’s struggles with interceptions. In 2017, he played four games in which he had five interceptions in 49 pass attempts.

Peterman continued in the same manner in 2018 as well by throwing seven interceptions in 81 pass attempts and having the worst QBR in the league. It also didn’t help that his replacement, the third-string QB Matt Barkley, had a monster performance against the Jets on Sunday.

The decision to cut Terrelle Pryor was also expected, considering the fact that his role was diminished in the last couple of games. Bills decided to give the opportunity to their younger player, which meant fewer snaps for Pryor. The 29-year-old played a total of eight games this season and has caught 16 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns.

Buffalo Bills currently have a 3-7 record and will have a bye this week.

The joint training sessions between the New York Jets and the Washington Redskins are rambunctious affairs at the best of times. They should be. Preparations for the upcoming NFL season are never taken lightly.

Redskins linebacker Zach Brown raised the temperature earlier this summer. His former team-mate and now Jet, Terrelle Pryor, can expect special treatment.

“The boys are gonna have it out for him,” he claimed earlier this summer. “We can put hands on him now.”

Pryor responded coolly to the threat; “If they take dirty shots, I’m sure we’ll handle that accordingly,” he told the assembled New York media this week.

The Jets join the Redskins for two days of joint practices on August 12^th. Two days after final practice, the two meet in a match at FedEx Field.

Brown’s comments stem from Pryor’s habit of catching one-handed catches during training camp.

“The boys were already hot for what he was doing last year,” Brown continued. “Try to one-hand something while you’re with the Jets, you’re gonna catch a forearm.”

Acrimony is in the Washington air. Having made great plays to sign him as a free agent on a one-year deal, they hoped to keep him. However, the Jets topped the $1m contract he was on and Pryor was gone.

He missed a lot of games last season due to injury, making just two starts. Pryor confirmed to reporters that despite surgery, he still has problems with his ankle. However, he expects to be fully fit in time for the joint practice sessions.

New York Jets missed out on Kirk Cousins, but at least they managed to reinforce their wide receivers core. According to the reports, the Jets signed former Washington Redskins WR Terrelle Pryor, who was one of the top names remaining on the free-agent market. The terms of the deal will be known in the following days, but it is expected that they are team-friendly. According to the sources, the 28-year-old also met with the Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns before deciding to join the Jets.

Terrelle Pryor joins the Jets team that already has three proven veteran wide receivers in Robby Anderson, Jermaine Kearse, and Quincy Enunwa. The team might decide to move on from Anderson or Kearse now that they got Pryor. Anderson had a great 2017 season, but it remains to be determined how patient the Jets will be with his off-the-field issues, while Kearse had a solid season but is due to make $5 million in 2018. Another reason for the Jets to move on from Anderson or Kearse would be to give their 2017 draft picks, ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen, more playing time.

Terrelle Pryor started his football career as a quarterback and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft. After two seasons in which he saw minimal action, he played 11 and started nine games for the Raiders in 2013, throwing for 1,798 yards and seven touchdowns.

After short stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cincinnati Bengals, Pryor decided to switch to wide receiver position and signed a deal with the Cleveland Browns. He had a breakthrough season in 2016, with 77 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns, which secured him a multi-year deal offer by the Browns. Instead, he decided to take the offer from Washington Redskins, which didn’t turn out as a good decision since he only had 20 receptions for 240 yards in nine games.
