Terrelle Pryor Rumors: Jets, Free-Agent WR 'Closing In on' Contract

After a disappointing 2017 season with the Washington Redskins, Terrelle Pryor will look to start fresh in new surroundings. Pryor and the New York Jets are nearing an agreement on a contract, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday.

In what was only his second season as a full-time wide receiver in the NFL, Pryor had 77 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns in 2016 for the Cleveland Browns. Despite his on-field success, he signed a one-year contract with Washington worth just $8 million.

In particular, many wondered why the wideout-starved Browns opted against re-signing Pryor, especially since they gave Kenny Britt a four-year deal that included $17 million guaranteed.
