Great player and great career. Love the fact that he came back here and turned into what he turned into.

Tweeted yesterday about some big news coming but then made a joke about it being an investment or something. well this counts too. Thanks Patrick.

Thanks Pat - we'll miss you!

Congrats Pat!! Much respect for all you’ve done for the squad; now you can go Cheech & Chung all you want...among other things..

Thanks for the rings, bud. Enjoy retirement.

He has already been replaced. What are the cap ramifications?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Not surprised.

No way his body was going to hold up in a full-time role.

Instrumental in 3 Super Bowls.

Pats get a couple bucks back towards the cap if they want

Always the sentimental one Andy.

Cant help feeling he’d be great to be kept on the sideline in a minor coaching capacity if he wanted it.

Nice statement. Not often you see players thanking the janitors.

Congratulations to him! Heck of a career.

Eleven years?! Probably the worst part about sports is how apparent it makes the passage of time. Seems like yesterday he was just drafted!

 

[Froob]

Hell of a story, had a great career. He shall not be forgotten. Big part of getting those 3 rings.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the coaching staff in the near future.

Thanks, Patrick. He was an important piece of our secondary for years. Wish him well.

He was my favorite college safety I've ever watched. I was over the moon when we drafted him. He was a big part of our championship teams, and a blast to watch out there. Big time energy.

For those with cap queries:

He was a fan favorite from day 1, then a hated draft bust, then a reclamation project, then a long term starter for 3 SB victories. Very interesting career compared to most.

Back when I used to be able to watch the games, he really stood out. Rover, was it, the role he had at Oregon? He was a heat seeking missile. That carried on in the NFL. One of my all-time favourites.

Thanks Pat. Great 2nd act with us. Enjoy retirement.
