The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Monday they have signed former Redskins receiver Terrelle Pryor.
Pryor, 29, is trying to rediscover the success he had in 2016 — when he had 77 catches for 1,007 yards with the Cleveland Browns. But in the two years since, the former quarterback-turned-receiver has struggled to produce.
The Redskins signed Pryor in 2017 to a one-year, $6 million deal in hopes that he would be their next star receiver. Pryor, though, failed to find chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins and a foot injury limited him to just nine games. He finished the season with just 20 catches for 240 yards.
Last year, Pryor signed with the New York Jets — and was taunted by his former teammates when he returned to Richmond for joint practices between the Redskins and Jets in training camp.

Pryor appeared in six games with the Jets before being released in October. He then signed with the Buffalo Bills, but was released again in November.
