Cordarrelle Patterson seemingly broke the news of his own release by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday. He said it was his day off and he was informed he would no longer be on the team.
The veteran wide receiver, running back and return man was certainly a Swiss Army Knife throughout the course of his career. But he’ll have to find a new home if it is to continue in 2025.
The good news is, Patterson has jokes and made a self-deprecating one upon his release. You can see it below.
“Breaking news (exclamation mark emojis),” Patterson wrote on Twitter/X. “Pittsburgh Steelers release old washed up cordarrelle patterson on his day off!!!”
Patterson was set to enter his second season with the Steelers. Since 2013, he’s spent time with the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons.
A Super Bowl LIII champion in 2018 with the Patriots, Patterson’s had a long career, missing few games throughout his NFL stint. During that playoff run with the Patriots, he caught four passes for 32 yards, had three carries for 10 yards and returned five kicks for 141 yards.
