This marks Demaryius Thomas’ fourth-team in the past year – Broncos, Texans, Patriots, Jets – and the second time he has been traded. But Jets think he can upgrade their passing attack. https://t.co/FeLuviXX2t

This move comes on the same day the team made the Antonio Brown signing official.

Thomas played for the Texans and Broncos during the 2018 season and hauled in 59 passes for 677 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
