The two sides have agreed to terms. Still not too sure about the recieving core of the skins, Patten better suited as a #3 reciever. Alot depends on Coles though.

I think they'll take anything they can get at this point. If they lose both of their "best" WR's, they are going to need someone that has good experience. It doesn't get much better than someone who has been on the championship Patriots teams.

Damn,just went to post this.

Well,they needed someone,not a bad signing.

Hopefully will translate into more balls for Branch in New England now too..

Not a bad signing for the Skins if Coles and/or Gardner leaves one way or the other.

They're at it again!!

He's like the exact same receiver as Coles.

I honestly don't think Coles will be a Redskin for much longer. I think the Skins know this, which is why they went out and got Patten.

Well, my point was that Coles didn't seem to work out and so they went out and got the same type of WR???, not that they were going to have Coles and Patten together.

The Laveranues Coles-for-Santana Moss trade has been jump-started... again.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Jets have continued to keep a dialogue open with Coles and the team is scheduled to talk to Coles' agent Thursday morning regarding terms that could make the trade work.
If the Jets and Coles side can come to terms on a new contract that both sides view as mutually beneficial the Jets will make the deal. Redskins sources also said they were keeping hope alive that a deal would get done in the end.

"Yesterday there was a five-percent chance of this getting done," said one source close to the situation. "Now I really think it's 50-50. We'll see how talks go (Thursday)."

Both Coles and now Moss are desperate to get this deal done. Otherwise, the Redskins will retain a player who clearly does not want to be on their team. The Jets will have a player who, like Coles, has become disappointed with his status on a club. It's expected that like Coles, Moss would also covet a new deal.

Moss and Coles have actually talked about their swapping of locales. Coles has not only apprised the Redskins of his feelings, he was even at the Pro Bowl as a guest of Jets star DE John Abraham and has a great working relationship with QB Chad Pennington.

Several people inside the league said yesterday they caught wind that talks had started again as Coles may be softening on his stance. The Jets are encouraged enough to give it one last try.
