The New England Patriots are signing former Houston Texans cornerback Terrance Mitchell to a one-year deal worth $3 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Mitchell, 29, has spent time with five teams over the course of his seven-year career. Although he isn’t the piece to replace J.C. Jackson, the Patriots added depth to a depleted position following the departure of their star corner. Mitchell joins a crew with Jalen Mills, Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant, Joejuan Williams, Shaun Wade and Justin Bethel.
Mitchell is a 5-foot-11, 191 pound corner that played in 13 games last season and recorded 60 tackles, along with an interception and ten PBUs. He’s primarily an outside corner and he gave the Patriots issues in the Week 5 matchup this past season.
