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.
