The Facts: Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Patterson visited with the Bears. His search for a new team started with a visit to the Redskins and Adam Caplan of ESPN reports that he's scheduled to meet with the Raiders on Sunday.
Diehards Line:Patterson set a career-high with catches by grabbing 52 passes during the 2016 season, although his ability to bust big plays never materialized as he gained just 453 yards through the air. He remained one of the best kickoff returners in the league and scored on a kickoff return for the fifth time in his career. In addition to that role, with Alshon Jeffery signing in Philadelphia, the Bears could also have room for Patterson to play an offensive role in 2017.
