The Facts: The Patriots have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Holt, according to a league source. The deal could be worth as much as $1.7 million, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.
Diehards Line:The 33-year-old Holt played for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, totaling 51 receptions for 722 yards and zero touchdowns. Holt, who spent the first 11 years of his career with the St. Louis Rams, enters his 13th NFL season. As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss notes, Holt adds a veteran presence at receiver, where the Patriots have Randy Moss atop the depth chart, with second-year players Julian Edelman and Brandon Tate projected to have expanded roles as Wes Welker recovers from torn ligaments in his left knee.
