Gang Green announced the signing. Terms of the contract were not given. Patton, 26, visited the team's facility last weekend.

San Francisco selected Patton in the fourth round of the 2013 draft. Last season, he caught a career-best 37 passes for 408 yards. He missed the final two games of the season after breaking his foot.
