The Falcons have sort of papered over their returner gigs in recent years, trying out a variety of options but never letting on a long-term one. It appears the days of doing so are over, as they’re reportedly on the cusp of signing four-time All-Pro Cordarrelle Patterson to a deal.
Veteran NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo tweeted a short time ago that Patterson is visiting the Falcons now and a contract is expected. New special teams coordinator Marquice Williams has to be doing a backflip right about now.
