The Saints brought back another one of their own on Monday when
the re-signed WR David Patten on the fourth day of free agency.
Patten received a new two year contract. He was second on the
team in receiving yards and third on the team in receptions in
2007.
Devery Henderson and Terrance Copper, each with four years, and
Lance Moore and Marques Colston each have two years. Considering
that Robert Meachem didn't play as a rookie, those five receivers
combined have 12 years of experience. Patten is entering his 12th
season and is by far the most experienced receiver on the roster.
Notes: Free agent QB Trent Green visited the Saints on
Monday... RB Deuce McAllister's rehab is doing well, but on March
15 the Saints' most popular player is due a $1 million roster
bonus and a $3.6 million base salary, resulting in a 2008 cap
value over $5 million. The Saints are expected to pay McAllister
the bonus, as publicly they have said nothing to indicate they
aren't expecting McAllister to return... Moves, a magazine
partially owned by Saints RB Reggie Bush is being sued for unpaid
wages by a former employee. The magazine, also partially owned
by Spike Lee, funded Bush's lavish Super Bowl party in Pheonix,
AZ...
