Pats sign WR Robert Ortiz
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff May 15, 2008 03:19 PM

The Patriots have signed WR Robert Ortiz to an undisclosed contract.

Ortiz (6-1, 188) first entered the NFL as a rookie free agent in 2006, with the Chargers. He also spent time with the Seahawks and in the Canadian Football League. In addition, he was a 13th-round selection in the All-American Football League draft.

The former San Diego State product was the subject of a recent piece in the San Diego Union-Tribune, which focused on how he wasn't giving up on his NFL dreams.

Ortiz is a longer shot to make the Patriots' roster, with the team stocked at receiver. Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Jabar Gafffney, Chad Jackson, Kelley Washington and Sam Aiken top the depth chart.

He isn't giving up on his NFL dreams... but he'll most likely be cut in training camp.

Can always use another Ortiz!

Yeah, but is he tall? Oh, he's not a cornerback? Nevermind then.
