The New England Patriots have agreed to sign Jonnu Smith to a four-year, $50 million deal with $31.25 million fully guaranteed. 

Smith took advantage of being the Titans' primary tight end last season by scoring a career-best eight touchdowns, second most on the team. He also had 41 receptions for 448 yards.

Smith got off to a hot start and scored five touchdowns over the first four games, but he was slowed by an ankle injury in October.
