Marqise Lee believes he needs only one thing to happen to have a big season: Stay healthy.
He did that in 2017, catching 56 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns. It earned him a four-year, $38 million extension with the Jaguars.
Lee, though, has played only 111 total snaps in six games and made only three catches for 18 yards since. Knee and shoulder injuries kept him sidelined.
The Jaguars cut Lee, and the Patriots signed him to a one-year, $1.05 million deal that gives him a chance to revive his career.
“For me, my biggest thing was I just knew the last couple of years I didn’t have the opportunity to do the things I needed to do as a player,” Lee told the team’s beat reporters Wednesday, via Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal.
