Redskins release WR Patten
March 22, 2007

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- David Patten was cut by the Washington Redskins on Thursday after catching just 23 passes over two seasons.
The Redskins released Patten with three years remaining on the five-year, $13 million contract he signed as a free agent from New England in 2005. Patten felt ready to assume a lead role after years as part of an ensemble receiving corps with the Patriots, but he was never able to live up to his own billing.

Patten caught 22 passes in nine games in 2005 before knee surgery ended his season in November. In 2006, he caught just one pass for 25 yards, having fallen behind Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El on the depth chart.

The 32-year-old receiver also has played for the New York Giants and Cleveland in his 10 NFL seasons.

Redskins released WR David Patten.

The definition of a Patriots system player, Patten caught just 23 passes after inking a five-year, $13.5 million contract in the spring of '05. He turns 33 before the upcoming season and could be finished in the NFL.

Will be interesting to see who picks him up do you think the Jets will go after David Patten.

Too bad for David, the Redskins fans ridicule the poor guy for some drops (they were bad). He never really got a chance in washington though, injured his first year and buried on the depth chart thereafter. Too bad he wasn't released some time last year. If the Skins had any sense they would have traded him to the Pats last year for a 6th.

Lets give him another go, especially if we don't bring troy back. It would be nice to have someone with experience in the system.

Plus he is one of my favorite players from the past few years. he came out no where to help this team win a few titles. His catches in the back of the endzone in both AFCtitle and SB in our first run were amazing. plus he had that game where he threw a td ran one and caught one.

Again I will say this , Im very happy with the WR, we have 2 more to add in Troy Brown and a draft pick ... David Patten, while he did some great things for us, has as much chance to make the team as say Drew Bledsoe.. :p
