Patterson has the following WRs in front of him:
Diggs
Wright
Johnson
Treadwell

Hunt was drafted when Zimmer was the DC. Zimmer may think there's still hope for Hunt and Hunt may do better on Zimmer's defense. That was why I mentioned Hunt.

Not really, because MJ and Dunlap are both starters. There's no question about that at all. Who comes up next? Clarke or Hunt?

And how is Johnson ahead of Patterson at all with his 9 receptions last year? Patterson is able to compete for a #2 or #3 starting role.

Sure, I'd like Diggs and Treadwell. Wright had some decent moments, but so has Patterson. It's an open battle for some starting spots on the receiving end. Heck, Treadwell could shoot up to #1.

Zimmer might have faith in Hunt, but there's no way you trade one of the league's best returners for a project. I understand what you're saying, but Zimmer wouldn't do that.
