Was Cordarrelle Patterson's All-Pro season enough to justify 2020 salary?

Bears kick returner and special teams ace, Cordarrelle Patterson, had an All-Pro season in 2019, his first with the Bears, after leading the NFL in kick-return yards and providing Chicago with some field-flipping moments when they needed it most.

But was his fantastic season enough to keep him on the roster in 2020?

The Bears salary-cap issues have been well-documented; they're currently $14.5 million under the max, a number that ranks among the bottom five teams in the NFL. Players like Leonard Floyd, Prince Amukamara and Taylor Gabriel are the first names mentioned as potential cap casualties this offseason, but Patterson may not be far behind.
