The Jacksonville Jaguars announced they have acquired wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions, in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick. Pending a physical, Patrick, 31, will join wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter Jr., Dyami Brown, Parker Washington and Austin Trammell on the Jags. Along with the Patrick trade news, the Jaguars also announced that they were waiving wide receiver Austin Trammell.
Patrick was an undrafted free agent when he signed in 2018, playing for several teams before making his debut with the Denver Broncos. Over 71 appearances, the eighth-year pass catcher totaled 176 catches for 2,403 yards and 15 touchdowns in four seasons with Denver, and one season with the Lions. Patrick re-signed with the Lions during the offseason after finishing with 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns in his second year with Detroit in 2024. He did not play in 2022 because of a torn ACL and did not play in 2023 because of a torn Achilles.
The Jaguars will open the season at home against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 7 in Jacksonville, Fla.
