The Facts: As Patterson makes free-agent trips around the country, he took time out Saturday to say he wants to return to the Vikings. Patterson took to his Snapchat account to let that he known. Putting white letters on a black background in three panels, he wrote, "All I am hearing is stay with the Vikings!! Trust me I want to... But we all know business is business... So what you (going to) do, Rick."

Diehards Line: The message perhaps was directed to Vikings general manager Rick Spielman even if there’s no evidence he is on Snapchat. Meanwhile, ESPN reported Saturday that Patterson has taken a free-agent visit to Chicago. Before that, he was in Washington and his next stop is expected to be Oakland on Sunday. It remains to be seen whether the Vikings will attempt to bring Patterson back. It certainly doesn’t appear they’ve tried very hard so far.
