It may not be "either-or", but "both &". we now have 13 WR's on roster. That means 8 will go. Obviously Moss, Lloyd & Randle have 3 of those 5 spots. I think Thrash will stay for his ST play. That leaves 9 playes for 1 roster spot. If some of the young WR like Fenner, Espy, Harris or Smithcan do the job, Patten & Jacobs may both be expendable.

I'm not saying Patten wil or necessarilly should be traded. I'm only saying that the possibility can't be dismissed out of hand. If I were a betting man (which I'm not) my bet would be that he stays, but I haven't seen enough about the above mentioned young WR's to know. Time will tell.

Capanomics -- Patten:
If he's on the team in 2006, he'll count $1.8 mil (plus $600K more if he hits a bunch of incentives.)
If he's cut or traded after June 1, 2006, and not on the team, he'll count 700K in 2006 and $2.1 mil in 2007.
Without a doubt, he won't be on the team in 2007 with his current contract -- he'll count over $3.0 mil. I doubt that Gibbs and co. ever thought he'd last beyond 2006 anyway.
I'd say he'll make the team in 2006 and get cut June 1, 2007. However, if another team cuts someone in the next few weeks that we really feel we need (e.g., a backup OL), we could free up just over $1 mil by cutting him, we might be tempted with our depth at WR.
