US EditionPittsburgh Steelers Cut All-Pro Returner Cordarrelle Patterson
- On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced the release of 34-year-old Cordarrelle Patterson, their veteran offensive contributor and special teams standout, ahead of the team’s first full padded practice of the season.
- During training camp, the team reduced its roster following Patterson’s release; he had joined Pittsburgh last April on a two-year deal reportedly worth $6 million and appeared in one season with limited impact.
- Last season, Patterson took part in 13 games for the Steelers, handling kickoff returns 11 times and gaining 240 yards, while also contributing on offense with 44 touches resulting in 215 yards and one receiving touchdown.
- He holds nine career kick return touchdowns, the most in NFL history, and posted a sarcastic announcement of his release on social media Monday at 12:07 PM ET.
- The Steelers freed up approximately $2.8 million against their salary cap by releasing Patterson, who now enters free agency as the team looks to incorporate new additions such as Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell.
