Jacksonville Jaguars sign TE Mychal Rivera

The Jacksonville Jaguars may have found their replacement for Julius Thomas by signing fellow tight end Mychal Rivera to a contract on Wednesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team for Rivera, but Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reported it's a one-year deal with a team option for a second season.

Rivera endured his least productive of his four seasons with the Oakland Raiders in 2016, reeling in just 18 receptions for 192 yards and one touchdown. The 26-year-old's best campaign came in 2014, as he had 58 catches for 534 yards and four scores.

Rivera has 146 receptions for 1,413 yards and 10 touchdowns in 61 career games with the Raiders.

Rivera will join fellow tight end Marcedes Lewis in a bid to replace Thomas, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins in the offseason.
