Jaguars reach deal with receiver Terrelle Pryor

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Terrelle Pryor and he is expected to participate in the team’s organized team activity on Monday.

Pryor, 29, played for the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills last season but was released by both teams after short stays.

The Jets released Pryor on Oct. 20 last season after he tore his groin. He signed with the Bills 10 days later and said he felt “underused” in six games with the Jets to begin the season.

He lasted only two weeks with Buffalo, however, catching two passes for 17 yards. In total, he had 16 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns last season.

His best season came in 2016, when he caught 77 passes for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games for the Cleveland Browns.

He then signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins in 2017, rejecting a multiyear offer by the Browns after his breakout season. But the move didn’t work out for Pryor, who finished with just 20 catches for 240 yards and one touchdown in nine games. He eventually needed season-ending ankle surgery in November that season.

In 2011, the Oakland Raiders picked Pryor, who played quarterback at Ohio State, in the third round of the supplemental draft. He started 10 games at quarterback for the Raiders while appearing in five others over three seasons.
