The New England Patriots have signed veteran tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins to a one-year deal, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.
Seferian-Jenkins, who had 11 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown before going on injured reserve in early October with a core muscle injury that required surgery, became a free agent when the Jacksonville Jaguars declined his $500,000 option for 2019.
The 26-year-old tight end joined the Jaguars on a two-year, $10 million deal before last season after resurrecting his career with the New York Jets after being cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following a September 2016 arrest for drunken driving.
