New England Patriots reach 2-year, $26 million deal with Nelson Agholor, source says

The New England Patriots are giving former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor a two-year, $26 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

He becomes the second major offensive addition by the Patriots on Monday. Tight end Jonnu Smith agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract including $31.25 million guaranteed, agent Drew Rosenhaus told Schefter.

The Patriots also have spent big on the defensive side, adding pass-rusher Matthew Judon on a four-year, $56 million deal including $32 million guaranteed, sources tell Schefter.

Agholor, signed by the Raiders to a one-year, $1,047,500 million prove-it deal last March after essentially being run out of Philadelphia due to the former first-round pick's proclivity for drops, re-invented himself last season in Las Vegas.
