The Saints are closing in on a deal to bring back receiver David Patten, according to a league source. Terms of the deal were not immediately known.
Patten, 33, had a career resurgence in his 11th NFL season last year after signing with the Saints last April. He emerged as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Marques Colston, catching 54 passes for 792 yards and three touchdowns.
The Saints now have their entire receiving corps back together after re-signing Patten, Devery Henderson and Terrance Copper over the past week.
