Interesting article on Patten. Glad he's so motivated. I think Id be feeling expendable if I were him. What is his contract status? If he should become available, is he someone we should give a second tour of duty?

I don't see why not. Hope he had some guaranteed money from the Silly Skins.

I think we should get Patten back, I was watching some old DVD's lately and he could play, last year he made some good catches too. I wish he never would have left. Don't know what he would cost, nor his current contract senario, however, he would be a welcome addition in my eyes...I always liked the guy...

I believe he is on the skins roster and should compete for a job. No telling whether or not he will make the roster though---but i would be open for him coming back. I will never forget that touchdown in the SB!

I took a look at his numbers last year and they were less than impressive. Any word on what happenned to Patten last year? Off year, or inury?

Hell, he would be the teams #2 if we did!

This is total speculation, but I think Brady makes receivers look better than they are. I think Givens will not have a strong year this year. The only receiver who's done well (IIRC) in leaving the Pats is Wiggins, and his was a fairly unique case. Can anybody think of another WR who's left since 2001 who excelled?

As aj said in another post, good teams (well coached teams) make players look better than they look on poor teams.

He was hurt a ton last year and had to compete with Santana Moss to get receptions.

BTW a NOTE TO ALL

He would cost the skins more to cut than it would to keep him on the team.

Good to know. If that's the case, I can't see Patten going anywhere. Thanks for the info.
