Kansas City declined to tender Wells in 2020 and he caught on with the Patriots practice squad briefly in November. New England re-signed him back in July briefly and he also had a stint on the Falcons practice squad before signing to the Colts’ taxi unit.
During his four-year college career at San Diego State, Wells recorded 38 receptions for 449 yards (11.8 YPC) and six touchdowns.
Jacobson, 24, was a basketball player in college at Nebraska and Iowa State. After graduating in 2020, Jacobson played overseas before making the transition to tight end and signing a contract with the Seahawks in August.
Seattle cut Jacobson during camp but later brought him back briefly to the practice squad.
