Patriots Sign Jakob Johnson To One-Year Deal
4 years agoThe New England Patriots are signing exclusive-rights free-agent fullback Jakob Johnson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Johnson's return was all but certain after the club tendered him a contract, which meant that he couldn't negotiate with other teams. He played in every game last year and started 11 times. Johnson caught eight passes for 35 yards and a touchdown while also playing on 170 special teams snaps. The Patriots also re-signed running back James White on Wednesday. Johnson will continue to block for White, Sony Michel, Damien Harris and J.J. Taylor in 2021. Rex Burkhead remains a free agent.
