Packers: Cordarrelle Patterson could be a difference-maker

Cordarrelle Patterson has played for both the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. How about he signs with another NFC North team this offseason, the Green Bay Packers? Patterson is a free agent and still available, but there's absolutely no doubt he could help the Packers, particularly for his work on special teams. If there's one

I think most would agree RB/WR Ervin and/or draft picks would be the first options.

But one of the best current kick returners is still available in Cordarrelle Patterson, and has some nice speed which Packers were reportedly looking for in WRs and Patterson has experience at WR and a bit as a RB. Whole he's not great at reading blocks, he's got speed and power to break tackles if you can get him started.

I seriously doubt it happens, but Packers need to sign at least another FA or two to help CB, DL, OL and/or returner. I'm guessing Ervin is in the cards, but he doesn't nessarily have to be the only one.

I don’t think the Packers can afford a guy that is only a return specialist. If he was better at WR then he is, then maybe he would be worth the money. To me, he hasn’t shown to be any more then that.
Ervin is already on the team, is a decent returner, and knows the plays and can make some plays on offense.
If the Packers were not already cash strapped, then I’d say why not try for him?
I just think they can use their money and roster spot in better ways.

You're probably right, they probably won't sign two vet returners, but probably scouting rookies.

I wish there was a list to see which players were used more as returners in college, and split it between punt and kick returners.

Though I think they might sign one, and currently, Ervin is a FA and currently on no team.

I honestly didn’t even know that Ervin wasn’t signed.
Maybe if the Packers could use that roster spot/money to sign Patterson, it would be worth it for special teams help. I don’t have any idea what he would cost though.
Let’s face it, field position is huge! We have seen how it cost the Packers in the past.
Look what Desmond Howard for the team in the SB 31 season. He was HUGE!

All he said was, tell them to call me.

Which in fairness, I'm pretty sure he'd say to all teams right now. Give me your best offer, or any offer, if I don't have one.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (14h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
