The New York Jets announced the signing of former 49ers WR Quinton Patton on Thursday.
It is worth mentioning that Jets OC John Morton was Patton’s position coach with the 49ers for two seasons.
Patton, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He just finished the final year of a four-year, $2.551 million rookie contract that included a $391,500 signing bonus.
Patton went down with a foot injury during Week 15’s game against the Falcons and was subsequently placed on the season-ending injured reserve.
