Is Patten Gone?

MUCH too soon to say. Team needs depth in each position as well as starters and Patten, Lloyd and Randle-El gives you that. Lloyd hasn't seen a playbook, or run a pass pattern in practice yet. He's likely to displace Patten at number 2 and maybe challenge for number 1 (wouldn't that be something), but no one knows until they suit up and you get time in games.

Gone? Not likely.

I think it makes sense to hang on to Patten as a #4.. We see how a long season can take a few recievers out for a couple of weeks. And I'm a Gator, but Jacobs is a Pussywillow... He missed his window of success, now its all metal, so gatta go, gatta go!!! No need to cut someone like Patten at his salary then sign another reciever (3) or draft one with the few picks.
