Patten began his pro career in the Arena Football League after going undrafted out of Western Carolina in 1995 and working odd jobs. But he went on to a stellar 12-year NFL career, highlighted by earning three Super Bowl rings while playing for New England.

During his time in New Orleans, Patten also served as a locker-room leader and a mentor to a young receiving corps. He especially took Meachem under his wing, working out with the 2007 first-round draft pick during the offseason. For that my friends he deserves mine and every Saints fan's respect, however, it is time to move on. I wish him the best.

Hey CS, who is that little white dude next to you in your avatar? :hihi:

I'll answer your question with an Otis Redding song.

I've got dreams, dreams to remember..... :lol:

Is that the JAG chick?

Thanks brotha. This is a very impressive site. I look forward to getting more educated on dem tigers.

Lance Moore is a restricted free agent, I think, so they'll probably give him a solid tender so nobody is willing to give away a high draft pick.

yeah, catherine bell


and go saints...just to make this saints related.
