In this line of thinking I am surprised that Miami hasn't tried to sign Patterson. Maybe they have and we don't know it, but you would think MM would want him in his offense.

I think there are alot of teams that are trying to figure out his value to them. He almost seems like a player that is more valuable where he is than he would be on another team.

I wonder if the Saints don't get Watson, will they change their concept and start to rebuild? They did resign many of their own players, so I guess they could start trading them. If the Saints want to rebuild they could possibly get a lot of draft picks with the talent that is on that roster.

If you look at the cap hits for Cam Jordan, Lattimore, Ramcyzk and Thomas, they are going to be in cap hell if they start trading or cutting guys. A rebuild would be a true rebuild with having to trade those guys for picks bc they will need cheap talent to get through this. The contracts all bump to $20+ and are huge hits in dead money if released. Peat is the only one i saw they can walk away from after next year with minimal impact.

Agreed - there's a lot of players like that and we routinely see them take the money and run, only to never meet those FA expectations elsewhere.

Patterson has floated around 5 times in 9 years before becoming what he is right now. Yes he was raw coming out and needed time but it's pretty obvious he needed a staff who would utilize him correctly as well.
