With Kenneth Gainwell signed and Kaleb Johnson drafted, it’s fair to wonder how Cordarrelle Patterson is still on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, much less what his role in the offense could be come September. The most likely reason he’s remained on the team is his cheap contract and a desire to evaluate the new additions through the spring. Get eyes on Gainwell and Johnson and make sure everyone exits the next three weeks healthy.
Still, there’s a case to be made to keep Patterson for direct football reasons. To believe he can still play and contribute and compete for a roster spot.
