I don't really think anyone understood (myself included) how important Patten was to this team last year, until Patten was on the sidelines. He really did a good job taking guys out of the plays and opening it up for Santana Moss. I gave the guy a ton of heat when he was in there, but as soon as he left the feild with the injury, it was painfully obvious that our passing game wasent what it was when he was in there.

I know it's still early, but where do you currently see him on the depth chart ?

Cut him Now.....Biggest Steve Spurrier Bust of the Century,Waste of Draft Pick.All he is doing for us is taking up a Roster spot.

Patten will not get cut ahead of Tayor Jacobs. No way, no how. I also don't think Patten will cause a stink in the locker room, like some of you are predicting. He is a classy guy and knows with Lloyd and El coming on board that he needs to earn his spot. He will be the 3rd or 4th receiver this year and get some playing time in certain situations. I would like to see Lloyd step up and become the number 2 and let El be the number 3. Also, don't forget that we will have injuries at WR this year. I know it will happen. The Skins will need depth, talent and experience at the position and they will have it everywhere, except with Jacobs. He will be gone.

I agree. We're talking about depth here, and a veteran (like Patten) is a more valuable bench player than someone yet to prove themselves (i.e.: Jacobs). The only question is money...as usual.

Given Patten's age and contract, I wouldn't say he's a sure lock to make the roster, that's all I'm saying.

Gone. How many lives does this guy have? He may be a nice guy, but nice don't catch, score or block. He has had every opportunity to step up and has done jack. Plus, the guy gets hurt just walking. Cut our losses and let an undrafted rookie take his spot. Maybe we'll find someone who actually wants to play.

I would be stunned at this point if Patten gets cut over Jacobs. Jacobs hasn't done squat in the league. At least Patten has some rings and experience.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

What about Thrash, does he get cut over either or is he pretty well secure in the #4 spot?

[jamf]

Thrash has value as a special teamer.

The only reason i think patten will get cut is im predicting he will start bitching about being #4 on the depth chart. He will want to play a larger role.

[EXoffender]

Take out the Thrash.

[scowan]

Thrash won't get cut ahead of Jacobs either. For the same resaons I mentioned about Patten.... experience, leadership, cap friendly salary, special teams gunner. ect. ect. If you think about it, we were really thin at WR at the end of the year. Patton and Thrash both got hurt and we had to resort to Farris.

[gibbsisgod]

i think saunders will push to have 6 wrs on the active roster

[That Guy]

patten >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> jacobs.
patten is safe. jacobs has a high chance of being cut unless we keep 6 wrs.

After hearing so many people compliment him and his potential over the last three years I hate to cut him. Not that it's my job to do so.
