The Arizona Cardinals appear set to lose their first free agent of the offseason. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo, receiver Damiere Byrd is going to join the New England Patriots on a one-year contract.
The #Patriots are signing WR Damiere Byrd to a one-year deal source says. Coming off a 32-catch season with the #Cardinals. This is where I usually say, "And his next pass will be from Tom Brady" but, ya know…

Byrd played in 14 games for the Cardinals, starting 11 games, and had 32 catches for 359 yards and a touchdown. His two best games were in the final three games of the season and made strides as an outside speed threat.
He will join the Patriots with some uncertainty there, as quarterback Tom Brady is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Patriots’ starting quarterback for 2020 is still unknown.
