The Facts: Patterson, an unrestricted free-agent to be, has been campaigning relentlessly for the Falcons to re-sign him. He has done everything from taking pictures with fans signs about resigning him to custom cleats telling Falcons owner Arthur Blank to "cut the check."
Diehards Line:
Patterson evolved into one of the Falcons' most consistent offensive weapons and a fan favorite. Patterson was arguably GM Terry Fontenot's best free-agent signing in his first offseason as the Falcons GM, getting Patterson for a one-year $3 million deal, per OverTheCap. "I don't really notice it, man," Fontenot said while hysterically laughing. "He's funny, though, man. He's a great teammate, and he did some great stuff this year, but I don't notice it, man."
