On Thursday, the New England Patriots made a roster move by signing rookie receiver JaQuae Jackson while parting ways with first-year receiver T.J. Luther. Jackson had previously signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent from Rutgers on April 30 but was cut by the Falcons earlier this week before being picked up by the Patriots.
Meanwhile, Luther, 24, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent signed by the Jets in May 2023. He spent most of his rookie season on the Patriots’ practice squad after being released by the Jets. Luther attended college at Wofford before transferring to Gardner-Webb for his final season in 2022.
Jackson had a solid season last year, recording 361 yards on 22 receptions with one touchdown in 13 games, starting 12 of them. This move will likely give the Patriots more depth and versatility in their receiving corps.
