Tuesday, September 10, 2019
The New England Patriots have traded wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to the New York Jets for a 2021 sixth-round draft pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It is the first trade with the Jets in the Belichick era, with the last trade between the two teams coming in 2000.

As GoLocalProv reported, Thomas joined signed with the Patriots back in May after tearing his Achilles as a member of the Houston Texans in December.
Thomas was cleared to practice in August, but did not make his debut until the Patriots fourth preseason game.
In the game, he hauled in seven catches and two touchdowns with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham under center.
Thomas was inactive for New England’s season-opening 33-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Thomas’ Career
In 15 games last season with the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, Thomas recorded 677 yards and five touchdowns.
However, Thomas suffered a torn Achilles in week 16 and his availability at the start of the regular season could be questionable.
In his career, Thomas has hauled in 688 catches for 9,330 yards and 62 touchdowns, including seven catches for 60 yards to help the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl in 2015.
