Vikings shopping Cordarrelle Patterson

[Heismanberg]

NFL_Access: Vikings are reportedly trying to trade WR Cordarrelle Patterson

Supposedly he's having a tough time learning the offense. 

Go get CFlashP, Mike.

[Laxin]

Vertical threat, lets go trader Mike

Vertical threat, lets go trader Mike

Return specialist and direct snap threat.

Put him in the backfield

What would it take?

3rd?

 Though I have to say it would be awfully weird if a new GM known for building through the draft trades away all his draft picks

[Ignatius J Reilly]

He'd be so cheap the next two years.

[Derek Smalls]

He's not a vertical threat at all. He doesn't know how to play receiver. He's great once the ball is in his hands, but he can't pick up offenses, run routes or catch particularly well.

That's why I said let him return kicks and play in the backfield. 

Direct snaps, handoffs, and swings.  He's dangerous with the ball in his hands.

So a cheap version of Harvin? Just let the dude run go routes....

I wouldn't trade one of Badger Jr's dirty diaper for him.

I'd trade a conditional fourth for him.  He has tons of potential.  Our offense has good pieces in place now.

He's only 24 years old this season.

[Pope]

I wouldn't trade a conditional 7th for him

[Cane]

Dangerous player in a competent offense. Go get him.

I can't be the only one who fears him going to the Patriots for like a 5th round pick and become a special teams ace or something

[bojanglesman]

I can't be the only one who fears him going to the Patriots

Why does everyone fear than any player we don't sign will go to the Pats?  Let them go. And get shut the freak down.

With our corners we shouldn't fear excrement for passing games next year, especially when Gilchrist decides he wants to play in the NFLs best secondary, and possibly best defense next year.
