I was meaning more like 500+ yards can be satisfactory, which is what Patterson approached when seeing more opportunities on offense. Given Green and Eifert will occupy about 2000 yards of offense plus another ~250-500 receiving yards will be occupied by the RBs and depth players, I look/hope for the WR2 and WR3 to combine for around 1200-1400 yards.

I dunno, I still think that if Patterson can contribute around 500 yards or more on offense plus his added ability as a returner, I think he's worth a few million.

However, I too would like to see Terrance Williams opposite of AJ Green.

Patterson got 453 yards last year on 70 targets in 2013.
Boyd got 603 yards last year on 81 targets.
LaFell got 862 yards last year on 106 targets.

Patterson had 8.7 yards per reception last year.
Boyd had 11.2 yards per reception last year.
LaFell had 12.3 yards per reception last year.


Patterson isn't a good WR. He is a pretty terrible WR. The whole reason why he's talking about moving to RB (a significantly less paid, career shortening position) is because he isn't a good WR. Lol....

He's worth something as a returner, but I honestly think he hurts your team more than he helps if you're counting on him to catch passes.
