Impending free agent DT Mike Patterson expressed a desire to re-sign with the Giants. "I waited a long time to get in this locker room," Patterson said. "Hopefully I'm back next season." Cut by the Eagles because he didn't fit their 3-4 scheme, Patterson was scooped up by the Giants last April. He was a key rotational player and an above-average run stopper. The G-Men are expected to show some interest in re-signing Patterson, likely on a one-year deal.
