On the same day that G.M. George Kokinis indicated that the Browns would be signing receiver David Patten, the Browns did just that. The team announced the move earlier this evening. Patten returns to the Browns nine years after a one-season stint with the club, during which he started eleven games. The next year, Patten jumped to the Patriots, and participated in the team’s three Super Bowl championship seasons. Patten’s 12-year NFL career was actually preceded by a one-season stint with the Albany Firebirds of the AFL. He spent the past two seasons with the Saints, and two seasons prior to that with the Redskins.
