On the All Things Covered show he co-hosted with Bryant McFadden, Patrick said that he will be re-signing with the Vikings.
I will stay in Minnesota and run it back with the guys. He said to keep it in the North while wearing a Vikings cap.
He said his agent was talking to the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and Washington Commanders. Carlton Davis re-signed and that was the reason why the interest of the bay was dependent on that.
He said he was excited to return because of the additions of Kevin O'Connell and Ed Donatell.
I just wanted to be there and grind with those guys and try to get that common goal. He said that the team is stacked and that they got even better by adding a great offensive mind in Kevin.
He would like to play three more seasons.
He said that it all depends on what the body feels.
After 10 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, where he earned three All-Pro honors, and was named to eight consecutive Pro Bowls, he signed a one-year prove-it deal with the Vikings.
As he transitioned into a role that did not rely on him to shadow opponents top receivers, the Vikings were able to get a lot of experience out of him. While in Minnesota, he played an important role in helping develop the young defensive backs.
At the end of the 2020 season, when he was still with the Cards, he talked about moving to safety at this point in his career because he still excelled as a run defender.
In the Vikings' Week 18 finale against the Chicago Bears, the defensive back ended his career with a pick-six, his 11th of the season. He missed a Week 13 loss at Detroit due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, but he played in 13 games for the Vikings.
He wants to play 15 seasons before considering retirement, which could include a move into broadcasting. He co- hosts a weekly show with his cousin, Bryant, a seven-year NFL vet.
The fifth pick in the draft was selected by the Cards. He has 29 picks in his 11 seasons in the league.
