Does anyone know if there was something in the script that didn't make it onto the screen that explained what was up wit

He was killed, therefore he was a bad guy.

Would a man die that quickly after getting stabbed? He went down in seconds without even trying to yank the knife out.

Yes, after that type of abdominal wound, a person can lose consciousness and bleed out very quickly.

I just kind of assumed that the Sheriff sat down with him and talked him into joining them or he already knew the Sheriff previously but they kept that to themselves. Either way it did seem out of place a little bit but he got what he deserved

I think he just sided with whom he viewed would be the "winner".

He appeared to be someone who chose a life that had risks but high returns. And he aligned himself with the person he thought had the best chance of winning. He was obviously wrong.

I didn't really see him as necessary to the film. Bit of luxury to have him involved. Too many characters in this film.

'Slick', Goldblum's character, was a gambler who had worked a town with Cobb in the past.
Cobb had sent for Slick to run a game, and to split the profits of his winnings with Cobb. Probably to run the Gambling in the Midnight Star after Cobb Fired Kelly (who was skimming profits). Paden just happened to show up and take over before Slick could get into town. Also to act as eyes and ears within the Midnight Star and to otherwise be useful.
The scene with the Knife Slick was about to throw the knife (underhanded) but with enough force to cause injury or death to (in my opinion) Paden as Tyree was one of Cobb's men and a trusted subordinate.
Paden had proven un the past that he was not completely without conscience and therefore less trustworthy.
But make no mistake about it, Slick and Cobb were in it together.
