The Facts: Before the Jaguars released Patterson, they agreed to trade him to the Detroit Lions for a late-round draft choice.
Diehards Line:Initial reports indicated he would be released when former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus signed with the Jaguars. The Lions waived Patterson last August and he was claimed by the Jags. He was 30-of-35 on field goals and 36-of-37 on extra points for the AFC South champs. Michael Badgley and John Parker Romo are the other kickers in Detroit.
