Panthers related? Maybe. My question is, what would you give up for him and how disappointed would they have to be to take something for him? He's a return wizard, a big and fast WR that simply hasn't grasped their O after being in 4 systems in 4 years. While he may not be a rocket scientist, he's only 23 and a Rock Hill native. He and KB would be otherworldly. Too good to be true in all likelihood but a man can dream.

Um, he's only been there since 2013. With a fully guaranteed contract. They ain't giving him up.

2011 Hutchinson CC

2012 Tennessee

2013 Minnesota

2014 Minnesota (new OC)

Meh. Most people don't count the college systems when talking about how many systems you've been in.

Besides, he's a special teams player. That's what he does. He's like Devin Hester.

They would give him up for the right price perhaps (probably a first round pick, or two).  Maybe they'll see him as the Trent Richardson of wide receivers. It's a long shot, I know.

 

Edit: BTW, I would not co-sign a move like that at all.

He was considered raw coming out, he's had QB changes to deal with and poor QB play on top of that. I personally love the explosiveness in his game.

Like you mentioned he's obviously still on his rookie deal, he's dropped to #4 on their depth chart but still only 23. No way the Vikings don't hang onto him for atleast another year.

It's just hard for me to imagine an All-Pro player getting pushed to the side after a disappointing sophomore season.

First round pick or two?

 

lol no thanks. Can't go dealing first rounders willy nilly for a mediocre WR.

 

Yeah, you got that in before my edit.  I want a receiver that can get separation and knows how to run some routes.  It would appear that Patterson isn't that guy, and I am in no mood for a project that costs an arm and a leg.

    • No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"
    • Chiefs had zero penalties last night
    • You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
