According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal is for one-year and worth up to $6 million.
Legal Trouble for Thomas
Thomas is currently facing felony vehicular manslaughter charges stemming from a February car crash in Denver.
Thomas was arrested on February 28 after turning himself in.
According to police, Thomas was driving over 70 mph at around 12:20 a.m. near downtown Denver when his SUV went off the road and flipped end-over-end after hitting the median.
The SUV landed on its wheels and one of his two passengers suffered serious injuries.
Thomas on the Field
In 15 games last season with the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, Thomas recorded 677 yards and five touchdowns.
However, Thomas suffered a torn Achilles in week 16 and his availability at the start of the regular season could be questionable.
In his career, Thomas has hauled in 688 catches for 9,330 yards and 62 touchdowns, including seven catches for 60 yards to help the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl in 2015.
Patriots Wide Receiver Depth
With the addition of Thomas, the Patriots wide receiver depth chart consists of Julian Edelman, Philip Dorsett, Bruce Ellington, Maurice Harris, Braxton Berrios, Matthew Slater, and Josh Gordon.
