The New Orleans Saints announced today that they have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with unrestricted free agent WR David Patten. The announcement was made by Saintsâ€™ Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis.

Patten spent the 2006 season with the Saints after signing as an unrestricted free agent. The 5-10, 190-pound veteran of 11 NFL seasons caught 54 passes for 792 yards for a 14.7 receiving average last season, along with three touchdowns. Pattenâ€™s 54 receptions were the third-most on the team while his 792 receiving yards were the second highest on the squad, and he registered three-100 yard receiving games. His top game in 2007 came on a Monday Night Football affair on December 10 at Atlanta when he recorded nine receptions for 122 yards and a score.

this imo is an excellent signing........
although patten is'nt what he use to be,
he is a clutch reciever and only makes us better.
i was hoping they would resign him.........smitty

Perfect slot receiver for this team.

Just lit my celebration cigar (5 Vegas Classic). I think Trent Green would make a great backup too. The guy has to be better than Jamie Martin. Hopefully we will need him just a much.

Haven't posted in a while. Great to be back. Looks like the upgraded the site. Nice.

Notwithstanding the $$$$$ involved...a good move by the Saints. He provides leadership and experience as well as a good target for Brees.

What's going on ForeverFan, where you been?

I really like the Patten signing, even though he's 33. I mean he did have a few games where he just blew up (Seattle, San Fran, Atl). I don't think he necessarily takes too much attention off of Colston, but he does make some pretty big catches. However, I don't know if you guys remember, but in the Arizona game, all we had to do was not fumble, and Patten started running around with the ball like it was a loaf of bread and of course got it stripped. I like him, but I was ready to kill him after that.

Trent Green, huh, very interesting.

Solid move, Colston, Meachem (Hopefully), Copper, Patten, Stonehands. I would guess they'll bring in a young guy in the lower rounds or an undrafted FA for camp. Hopefully somebody will be able to beat Stonehands out in camp.

He played well for the Saints last year. Good job bringing him back in.
