Patriots signing former Vikings WR to help out new QB

As the New England Patriots begin their new era under head coach Jerod Mayo, the team is in desperate need of a franchise quarterback. But whoever is under center for the Patriots will need capable pass catchers to throw to.

New England has signed former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver KJ Osborn, via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The terms of the contract have yet to be revealed.

Osborn has spent his entire four-year career with the Vikings, appearing in 59 games. He has caught 158 passes for 1,845 yards and three touchdowns.
