Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick (17) dives for a touchdown against Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford (47) during the first half at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024.

Wide receiver Tim Patrick re-signed with the Detroit Lions on Friday, one day after the veteran literally left the writing on his wall.

Patrick posted a picture of a shirt on Instagram on Thursday inscribed with the words: "I only want to work with the Lions."

NFL Network and the Detroit Free Press reported the one-year contract for 2025 is worth a maximum value of $4 million.

Patrick, 31, had 33 receptions, 394 yards and three touchdowns with the Lions in 2024, his first game action since 2021 with the Denver Broncos.

He played 16 games last season after overcoming consecutive season-ending injuries. He tore the ACL in his right knee in 2022 training camp and almost exactly one year later, he tore his left Achilles in training camp in July 2023.

He signed with the Lions' practice squad in August 2024 and signed to the active roster in September.

Patrick caught 143 passes for 2,009 yards and 12 TDs in 55 games (37 starts) with the Broncos from 2018-21.
