Falcons free agent profiles: Cordarrelle Patterson
Photo by Chris Thelen/ The former return specialist had an incredible year in Atlanta. Can he do it again? Our ongoing look at the Falcons 2022 free agent class continues with one of the most intriguing of them all: Cordarrelle Patterson.

His one year deal for 3 million looks like a major bargain compared to his production, but is he worth more to this rebuilding team? Let’s take a look. 2021...

Atlanta Falcons fantasy stud and dud from the 2021 season
Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ Cordarrelle Patterson was electric out of nowhere while Calvin Ridley made fantasy managers regret picking him.

Unfortunately, I’ve still never witnessed a winning season, or even a single moment in which the Falcons had more wins than they did losses, while covering this team at the site. Still, the hopes...

Cordarrelle Patterson very open to staying with Falcons after 2021 season
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Patterson has had a career year in 2021 with Atlanta. While there are decisions abounding for the Atlanta Falcons to make after the 2021 season, locking in running back/kick returner/do-everything player Cordarrelle Patterson should be a no-brainer.
