Everyone figured he would be a salary cap cut this offseason.... weird timing to wait till camp started then cut him before cut down day, but maybe they needed the roster spot

Definitely, by cutting him way earlier it would have given him time to possibly find another team before they were all filled.
It appears as he has aged out / lost a big step / slowed a lot……… last season, running in mud.

He didn't participate in ANY offseason activities, and at the end of last year made some sarcastic posts on "X" (so this fits his track record), so the only REAL surprise is that it took this long.
I ref some adult flag and touch football in the summer. Some of those guys look faster then Patterson. Watching him bring a kick return out was ****** painful. And I really believed they kickoff teams were targeting him to force him to return the kick. He said The Steelers released old and washed up Cordderell Patterson on his day off. Yeah they did and he shouldn't have had a day off with this team. He should have been done when last season ended. Frankly well before.

Least surprising move of the offseason except for it taking so long.
i'd also believe the addition of Jonnu made Cordarrelle expendable. Arthur can only love one hybrid positional player.

Seems like maybe his first few days of camp showed his decline......why would they even bring him to camp? Doesn't this show the lack of talent judgment?
Bizarre add last year, bizarre on his way out the door.

Last year it made sense, he knew Smith's offense and was looked at as a weapon with the new kick return rules. He had a few good series. The kick return part never worked out but it was a good idea.
Patterson looked fat and slow last year. He had very little left in the tank last year, let alone this year.
Why is this shocking news to anyone???

Breaking news “Pittsburgh Steelers release old washed up cordarrelle patterson on his day off!!!”
Patterson breaking his own news in the process adding the old washed up adjectives was hilarious!

Yes, very well played! I liked that we took a chance on him last season and it was time to move on. I'm surprised he wasn't released earlier in the offseason.
I’m shocked Tomlin hasn’t been mentioned yet.

His contract number was nowhere near in alignment with his production capabilities
Surprised they waited this long

Omar Khan is starting to develop a reputation of "Johnny come lately" with his moves to me. Maybe its just me, but It was particularly perplexing with him allowing so many quality wide receivers to get picked up by other teams last year, waiting until after the draft to trade Pickens and now this move. I guess im not understanding what they are waiting on with some of these moves (or rather lack of movement).
