Saints sign David Patten

Could be a good move for them if he can actually hit the field

Saints sign David Patten (http://nfl-connection.com/nfl-news/saints-sign-former-pats-wr-patten-for-one-year/)

We said the same thing. :benched:

I really like Patten as a person and it was a shame he could not get healthy and stay on the field. I think he really wanted to come here and show that he could produce with another team. I wish him luck.

He is the only player in NFL history to catch, rush and throw a TD in one football game.

He'll probably be the 4th or 5th WR on their roster. I doubt he'll get alot of playing time.

I agree Marques Colston, Terrence Copper, and Devery Henderson will all be ahead of Patten on the Saints depth chart.

Does anyone understand why the skins released him. And dont blow smoke up my but with the injury thing. There are several players on our roster who are injury prone.

Too much risky to keep, too many injuries, poor catches, no involvement in our offense. Never was a fit.

injury prone & doesn't play spec. teams. As a 4th wr, it is tough to keep a guy on the roster that doesn't play spec. teams. Thrash is a great #4 & plays teams well.

The saints will have a tough decision to make come final cuts, cause Patten isn't anywhere near their top 1-3 wr's, and I don't think they can suddenly turn him into a spec. teams dude.

I thought he would be a significant, not huge, help to us last year, but he couldn't suit up for the most part.

I don't remember the exact figure, but I think he was scheduled to cost the Redskins 3million+ on the salary cap this year.

Way too much for a guy with his production.

i really liked it when the skins picked up patten, i thought he was going to be a good player for us. as it turned out i was dead wrong but i still like the guy and i hope he does well for the saints.

Wrong:

Ladainian Tomlinson (06), Walter Payton (1979), Harmon Wages (1969) and Dan Reeves (1967)

I believe there were a few others.
