    To the shock of no one.

    Why it took the Steelers this long to do so is an unknown.

    There was no need to be in a hurry just yet

    They probably did it now out of courtesy

    Did he even dress? From the reports I saw he wasn’t even dressed for the first couple practices

    Chiefs or Eagles will know how to use him.

    Just don’t go to Ravens.

    Well Patterson certainly wasn't in a hurry on his kick returns. On some of his runbacks I thought he was going to be flagged for delay of game.

    He had most of last year off. What does he mean on his " day off" haha.. In 2024, Cordarrelle Patterson, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, participated in 83 snaps, representing 10% of the team's total offensive snaps

    With this move they have 19m in cap space in the Top 51 allocation. I'm doubtful this was a cap move unless they're going to sign someone that eats up a huge chunk of that space. Honestly, I bet they open up another 5-10m when they cut the roster to 53 next month. I just think they let him go so he can sign elsewhere and have a legit shot to compete. If their cap numbers were tighter, I'd probably agree with this point.

    Patterson's Day to Day status for all of the 1st week of camp. As the old saying goes.... "You Can't make the Club in the Tub."

    Make way for the 2 new offseason free agent pickups in Sermon and Gainwell.
