As we hit the midway point of the Atlanta Falcons season it is becoming clearer who is a part of the Falcons’ future and who they should choose to move on from. One clear extension candidate has been utility player Cordarrelle Patterson.

Patterson has been the one consistent positive in the Falcons offense. Even when Matt Ryan had bad games against the Panthers or the Eagles Patterson was still producing and trying to help his team win.

Letting his hit free agency would be a mistake, Patterson is loved by the city of Atlanta and has been their best player so far this season. If they get the chance they must find a way to extend Patterson past this season.

Cordarrelle Patterson is the one player the Atlanta Falcons must prioritize keeping in Atlanta

While there is still a long way to go this season it is hard to see Patterson doing anything to change Atlanta’s mind. He is going to continue to produce and help Ryan run this Atlanta offense.

For every Patterson on the Atlanta roster, there has been a player that has struggled. Three, in particular, stand out as players Atlanta must move off of this off-season.
