Redskins Release Patten

SmootSmack · 03-22-2007, 07:22 PM

I always liked him, kind bummed it didn't work out here. But it's for the best

Meks · 03-22-2007, 07:25 PM

surprised we couldnt get ANYTHING for him...

skinsWill · 03-22-2007, 07:25 PM

Too bad that it didnt work out. I thought it was a great signing when it happened.

What he said.

Don't let no one say GTripp doesn't earn his bans!

yea, i thought it was a good signing too. i wish it would have worked out better.

I liked David P. but we're awfully thick at that position to keep a guy who can't contribute on spec. teams. Maybe Espy can earn a spot.

I'll await all our cap experts to break down the significance on that end. I recall several saying that it would count 1-2 mil against the cap this year to release him.

dall-assblows · 03-22-2007, 07:38 PM

he sucked anyways

GTripp0012 · 03-22-2007, 07:43 PM

So we've saved 7 million on the cap for 2008 already with the releases of him and Archuleta.

We just may have the cap room to make a free agent signing next year after all!

jdlea · 03-22-2007, 07:49 PM

I don't like it, he wasn't a bad 4th option. I think they have could have had someone else play special teams. I don't know, I always liked him. Whatever...it was bound to happen and I was planning on it happening, I just wished it had worked out. Not necessarily a bad move, but he was a good insurance policy if guys started going down.

GTripp0012 · 03-22-2007, 07:51 PM

Outside of Brunell, Springs, Daniels, and Wynn, anybody could be back next year (2008). These moves mean that Griffin and Washington are no longer possible cap casulties. However, if their level of play continues to fall, we should cut bait to open up our 2009 cap some.

Meks · 03-22-2007, 07:52 PM

i think mike espy has the potential to be better than patten... and he's got more size to him as well.... younger too Espy>Patten hopefully he proves it.

Riggo44 · 03-22-2007, 07:52 PM

It's about time. He never really got anything going in D.C. Yet another wasted signing.

Longtimefan · 03-22-2007, 07:54 PM

I liked the signing when he first arived but Patten was never acountable. If a guy can't be counted on to be on the field, he's of limited value. I thought we should have cut him last year because he wasn't going to do anything for his roster spot. He does not play ST's, and he caught a grand total of one pass last season, no way such limited production warrant's a roster spot. This opens an opportunity for the development of a younger player.

Jamaican'Skin · 03-22-2007, 07:59 PM

Ever since he got hurt his first year here, things went downhill for him. Good move by the FO.
