Pastabelly thinks Patten will get axe

I'm not advocating cutting Patten come June 1 for the simple reason of how much he makes, but if there is a surprise cut from another team I can certainly understand the rationale behind letting him go in order to help our depth elsewhere where it's needed more.

OK, well can I ask you, what do you think the probability is that there will be a surprise cut who we can sign who would help us more than David Patten would?

Hey, you never know. Seems like each year there is someone that gets cut that raises some eyebrows.

Suffice it to say the chances are pretty low, because the only real area of need for us is along the O-Line. And in addition, I think Gibbs is happier with his offensive line depth than we are. I'll agree with you though, if a player comes along who can help at the O-line spot, and is a big enough upgrade over the backups we have, then I think it makes sense to shed Patten and grab him instead.

But for Pastabelly to come out and call David Patten a probable cut, I don't think that's accurate. I'd say it's possible, but definitely not probable. More like snowball's chance, IMO.
