The New England Patriots are signing Demaryius Thomas with hopes his addition can bolster an otherwise thin receiving group, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.
Thomas, a 31-year-old veteran who was acquired by the Texans from the Denver Broncos just before last season's trade deadline, suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in December and was released by Houston in February.
He caught 23 passes for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns in seven games after his trade to the Texans. Between the two teams, Thomas finished 2018 with 59 catches for 677 yards and 5 touchdowns.
