    Reagor is back with the Patriots after emerging as a viable returner, and even as a big-play receiver, down the stretch of the 2023 season. However, he could only get a one-year deal for $2.92 million, according to

    WR Jalen Reagor (returning to Patriots, first reported by @Schultz_Report): 1 year, $1.292 million

    Signing bonus: $142,500
