Demaryius Thomas will be suiting up in green instead of blue next time he's on the field.
The veteran receiver was traded from the Patriots to the Jets in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick, ESPN reported. The move is correlated with New England signing Antonio Brown, according to the report.

Thomas, 31, was signed to a one-year deal by the Patriots during the offseason after suffering a torn Achilles last year. He sat out of the Patriots' Week 1 game against the Steelers.
Thomas already has experience with coach Adam Gase — his most productive years were with the Broncos from 2010-14, when Gase was part of Denver's staff.
He caught a combined 203 passes for 3,049 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2013 and 2014 when Gase was the team's offensive coordinator.
In five games split between the Broncos and Texans last season, Thomas had 59 catches for 677 yards and five touchdowns.
