Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Redskins released Patten with three years remaining on the five-year, $13 million contract he signed as a free agent from New England in 2005. Patten felt ready to assume a lead role after years as part of an ensemble receiving corps with the Patriots, but he was never able to live up to his own billing. Patten caught 22 passes in nine games in 2005 and just one pass last season, having fallen behind Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El on the depth chart.
