There's another three-time Super Bowl champion in Washington, D.C., today.
Free agent wide receiver David Patten visited Redskins Park on Thursday. Patten, who turns 31 in August, has helped the New England Patriots win three of the last four Super Bowls.

Last year with the Patriots, Patten caught 44 passes for 800 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns. His 18.2 yards-per-catch average was also a career high.

In an eight-year career that has also included stints with the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, Patten has 236 receptions for 3,519 yards and 20 touchdowns.

The Redskins are expected to pursue several options at wide receiver in free agency and the NFL Draft. Both of last season's starters, Rod Gardner and Laveranues Coles, headed into the offseason with a degree of uncertainty.

The team has given Gardner permission to seek a trade and Gibbs has said Coles may also be on the trading block, although it's probable that Coles will remain a Redskin next season.
