Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick will be back in Denver next season after reportedly agreeing to an adjusted one-year deal on Friday, Colorado TV station 9News reported.
Patrick was owed a base salary of $9.5 million for the 2024 season with a salary cap charge over $15 million. Because of season-ending knee and Achilles injuries, Patrick hasn't played in a game since signing a three-year, $34 million contract that took effect in 2022.
Patrick tore his left Achilles tendon last August in practice and had surgery, landing on injured reserve. He missed all of the 2022 season with a torn right anterior cruciate ligament.
Patrick caught 53 passes for 734 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games in 2021.
An undrafted free agent who struggled to catch on with a team, the Broncos added him to the practice squad in 2018 after he spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens.
Patrick amassed 143 receptions for 2,009 yards and 12 TDs in four seasons (2018-21) on the Broncos' roster.
