The Pats recently announced the signing of WR David Patten for his second tour with the team. Patten was a fee-good story when he beat all odds and won a roster spot on the 2001 team. He played four seasons with them, including the 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl teams.
He left the Pats after 2004, signing a lucrative five year contract with the Washington Redskins. He was plagued by injuries during the 2005 and 2006 seasons and was subsequently released by the team.
He caught on the the New Orleans Saints for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Released again, he was signed by the Cleveland Browns prior to the 2009 campaign, but was cut before camp. He sat out the season.
It's a question of whether the 13 year veteran has any gas left in the tank. He is a low-risk signing and will fight for a spot during training camp.
During his four seasons with the Pats, he caught 165 balls for 2,513 yards and 16 TD's. He was considered a very delendable receiver.
