Pryor last appeared in an NFL game in 2018, when he split time between the Bills and Jets. At his peak, he was a dangerous skill player who had a 1,000-yard receiving season for the Cleveland Browns in 2016. The 30-year-old landed with the Jacksonville Jaguars this past offseason, but landed on injured reserve and was released before the start of the season. He had recently been aiming to get back into the league.
