Cordarrelle Patterson takes savage swipe at Pittsburgh Steelers over birthday message

Cordarrelle Patterson takes savage swipe at Pittsburgh Steelers over birthday message

Pittsburgh Steelers star Cordarrelle Patterson appears to have taken offense at the team’s social media activity. 

The running back, who has been with the franchise since last year, celebrated his 34th birthday on Monday. 

However, the Tennessee product was seemingly unimpressed with the way the Steelers organization shared their birthday wishes. 

Pittsburgh’s official team Instagram account shared a celebratory message for Patterson exclusively to their story, rather than as a post on the grid. 

And Patterson was not happy at being demoted to a story, as he claimed it suggested his future with the Steelers was uncertain. 

He reshared the Instagram story to his own, writing: ‘Damn I couldn’t even get a post on the page n s*** lol. Yall know something I don’t know???’

One day prior, the Steelers Instagram page had shared a birthday post for Chris Boswell to its grid as it had for head coach Mike Tomlin earlier in the weekend rather than posting to its story. 

Patterson landed in Pittsburgh during the 2024 offseason, after inking a two-year, $6million contract with the Steelers, and became their primary kick returner and third-string running back. 

Patterson played 13 games for the Steelers last season, hauling in 12 pᴀsses for just 80 yards and one receiving touchdown. He also finished the season with 135 rushing yards and 240 return yards. 

He previously enjoyed spells with the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Atlanta falcons.  

The dynamic kick returner owns the NFL record for the most career kickoff return touchdowns with nine. As a utility player, Patterson scored 19 total touchdowns in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Monday’s dig was not the first time that Patterson has taken a swipe at the team on social media either. 

After the Steelers’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, Patterson called out his lack of playing time on Instagram. 

‘Guess I’ll shovel snow since I can’t touch the field n s***,’ Patterson posted along with a picture of him shoveling a driveway. 

It’s unclear if Patterson will be on Pittsburgh’s roster for the 2025 season after the Steelers replaced Najee Harris with Kenneth Gainwell and brought back Jaylen Warren. 

Meanwhile, cutting Patterson would save the Steelers just under $3million in salary cap space.
