All-purpose performer Cordarelle Patterson has signed on a two-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, according to a recent report by ESPN.
The announcement, released last week by the team, confirms an earlier report by NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo.
“The #Falcons have agreed to terms with WR/RB/S Cordarrelle Patterson for the do-everything guy to return to Atlanta, source says,” Garafolo wrote in a recent tweet. “ Arthur Smith, Dave Ragone & Co. keep a key offensive piece coming off career-highs in touches (205), yards from scrimmage (1166) and TDs (11).”
The running back/wide receiver later took to social media to confirm the deal, ESPN reports.
“ATL!!!!! I’m baccckkkkkkk,” Patterson wrote in a tweet.
According to the report, Patterson posted career-best numbers across the board in 2021, finishing with over 600 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns and 1,166 total yards and 11 touchdowns.
Patterson made no secret about his desire to return to the Falcons, going so far as to say he wanted to finish his career with the franchise.
“F the money!!! Atl was (where) I wanted to be at the end of the day!!!” Patterson wrote in another tweet.
This comes as he joined the team on a one-year deal last offseason, becoming one of the “most productive offensive weapons” under head coach Arthur Smith.
