The 34-year-old spent the 2018 season with the New England Patriots. After they finished 11-5, Patterson helped the Patriots throughout the playoffs including two receptions for 14 yards, a 38-yard kick return and seven rushing yards en route to their 13-3 Super Bowl LIII win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Veteran utility player Cordarrelle Patterson said the Steelers released him on his day off. The 34-year-old Super Bowl champ, nicknamed “Flash” for his speed and versatility on the field, jokingly called himself “washed up” in a tweet that revealed the news on Monday.
