In the last several days with the available talent beginning to dwindle down, the level of interest in veteran wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has steadily picked up. He has is one of the top remaining players at his position still has yet to work out a deal with a team.
This has led to an increased amount of attention thrown his way from a few teams around the league. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the 28-year-old appears to have narrow down his choices between the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks.
Appears to be down to the #Jets and #Seahawks for Terrelle Pryor, at least for right now

Pyror had recently held visits with each team that has piqued his interest in potentially signing with one of the franchises. He has an opportunity to step into a prominent role in the passing game with either franchise. The allure of the Jets may be due to the team offering more money in a deal to bring him aboard on likely a multi-year contract. Along with that, he will likely be catching passes from one of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft class.
The chance to play with Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson could be weighing on him as he could become a productive duo alongside Doug Baldwin in the passing game. There is a great need from Seattle to add more firepower in terms of pass catchers following the depart of Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham and wideout Paul Richardson this offseason.
He is coming off a disappointing lone season with the Washington Redskins that saw him haul in 20 catches for 240 receiving yards and a touchdown in nine games. He struggled tremendously to be a consistent factor in the passing game while a nagging ankle injury led to him requiring season-ending surgery. The hope was for him to become one of the team's top receiving options, but it quickly became quite the opposite.
Prior to that, he was coming off a breakout 2016 season with the Cleveland Browns where he made the full transition from quarterback to wide receiver. He has plenty of individual success on the field notching 77 catches for 1,007 receiving yards and four touchdowns. This included his first three 100 receiving yard performances of his career while making five or more catches 10 times.
