DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I get it. 5M is a lot of money to pay a returned...even one as good as Cordelle. At least sounds like he isn’t leaving on bad terms. I liked his personality a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he was a player and they could have found a position for him, but if they arent gonna use him, then they shouldnt keep him.

adam Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 This may be a precursor to a bigger move, maybe at QB. If they are trying to squeeze every ounce out of the cap, they can bring a guy in for league minimum and get league average results. How many touchbacks did CPat take out of the end zone. Kickoff chances are becoming less and less likely so I am ok with this. I liked him better as a person and social media personality than a player. He is definitely a top 5 returner as only 4 players had over a 26 yd return average and a TD last year with CPat being one of them. However, the other 3 were: Brandon Wilson, Devin Duvernay, and Isaiah Rodgers. I have no clue what teams those players are on. Also, as good as he was in the return game, Nagy got too cute with him on offense and more times than not it would end in a negative play. I am good with more reps for Monty, and with Cohen back, it's hard to imagine Patterson getting as many touches this year. For how explosive he was supposed to be, he only averaged 3.6 yds per carry and 6.3 yds per reception. In terms of scoring, he only accounted for a single TD on offense, and that was with Cohen out for most of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Call me a fan. He went hard every play for us. No injuries, blocked hard, tackled hard and ran his ass off on kick returns. Dudes like that are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Liked him and sad to see him go as he was a great teammate and was outspoken in trying to convince player to consider signing with the team. On the bright side he won't be coming in to run the ball or catch a 2 yard pass on third and long. He will be greatly missed as a returner he was always dangerous.

Stinger226 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 It would be nice to have him but with a terrible cap situation, he would be a luxury. They tried to fit him into the offense, but he was just best as a special teams guy. That 5 mil we might have to pay him can be used for a WR, TE or another RB. We cant keep everyone.

bradjock Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I don’t think we can assume he’s gone until he’s officially gone. Today we are seeing a lot of first day big money deals. There’s gonna be a ton of guys who have to take what they can get. Patterson’s gonna be in that category. Like at least half the league has MAJOR cap problems with no money to spend. Patterson will likely have to take a one year deal that if for far less than he wants. If the Bears have the best offer—he will take it.

I can see NE bringing him back as they have money and are busy spending it early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 If he wants the same money, 5 mil a year, I dont see him coming back here. Maybe he takes a 1 yr 3 mil after the dust settles in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
