Daniel Brown is heading to New York. The former Ravens and Bears tight end is signing with the Jets, reports Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (via Twitter).
After a two-year stint with the Ravens, the former undrafted free agent had spent the past three seasons with the Bears. He was relatively productive offensively between 2016 and 2017, hauling in 29 total receptions. However, he went without a catch in 2018 despite appearing in 14 games (he also contributed on special teams). Pro Football Focus ultimately gave him adequate grades despite his low snap count.
In New York, Brown should have a chance to play a backup role behind starter Chris Herndon. The Jets are also rostering Jordan Leggett.
We heard last week that Brown had met with the Lions. That was the only reported meeting for the tight end.
Interesting… I thought they were going to bring in Fells to be a blocking TE. Is this guy a good blocker?
Who?
