Help is on the way in the New England Patriots' secondary.
The Patriots are signing former Houston Texans cornerback Terrance Mitchell to a one-year, $3 million contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday.
A seventh-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2014, Mitchell has played for five teams over his seven-year career. He started 13 games for Houston last season, recording one interception and 10 pass deflections while forcing three fumbles.
Mitchell also spent three seasons (2018 to 2020) with the Cleveland Browns, where he overlapped with current Patriots front office consultant Eliot Wolf.
