Wouldn't it have been better for him to have been undrafted so he could be an undrafted free agent and go to any team he wanted and try out?

All that said, he stands to make less in the NFL than he did in college.

The irony in all this is that college football has no salary cap where the NFL does.
I think he has no chance of being on the Browns 53 man roster. Stefanski shows no love. He's trade bait.

The Browns are hoping he shows potential and they can get something out of him when they move on. He won't last on the practice squad, someone will pick him up for nothing. The best hope for the Browns is they get a fourth rounder for him next year.

I agree. He should be suspended/docked pay or something. He made a mockery of their draft.

I agree, his kid crossed a line. But what Ulbrich did was a lot worse. He lacked basic IT security awareness and failed to secure a device with confidential business information. He allowed unrestricted access to team information on his device that resulted in actions detrimental to the league.

It makes you wonder what other information has been gleaned from his unsecured tablet and is loose on the interent. As a matter of trust, if he worked for me I'd be looking for his replacement.

Couldn’t agree more.

Unsubstantiated rumor and I don't have access to Ulbrich's tablet. Rogers didn't want to play in Pittsburg if he had to compete with Sanders. The Steelers passed on Sanders to lock in Rogers.

Given the salary structure of NFL teams, if the Steelers (or anyone else for that matter) were to bring in Rodgers for the $25-$35 million dollars it would cost, it wouldn't be to 'compete' for a job. You don't lay out that kind of a money on a QB you're not committed to. 10% of your payroll doesn't go to a single backup.

The budget for a QB1 is $50 million, so there's cap space for Rogers and a 3rd round rookie contract, by a lot. Plus, Rogers isn't a long term solution. Maybe a year if he can survive a whole season.

Rogers needs the competition. He was slacking for the Packers until they drafted Love. AR heard footsteps and found his MVP game again. He doesn't want to compete for a job though. He wants to be the diva princess that dictates how the team operates. Aaron Glenn wasn't having it and booted him out of town. I'm surprised Tomlin will put up with his decidely un-Steelers like ways. Especially since it's obvious that AR has lost mobility and can't stay on time with his receivers.

Where are the Steelers now? Waiting for the drama queen to give them an answer.

At this point, Rodgers is a one to two year option for 90 rating QB if he can stay healthy. But he will want to start. And want to be on a Super Bowl contender.

While he may want to play for a Super Bowl contender, he won't be able to lift up a team to a Super Bowl level.

He really is just some guy who can play QB. And bring a tremendous amount of baggage and angst to your team.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to bank on Rodger’s after watching him on the jets. That team had a relatively stacked roster and he couldn’t do sh*+. Outside QB the jets had a more talented roster than the bills or pats or dolphins I’d argue.

I agree. It's a complete mystery why the Steelers pursued Rogers in the first place, much less why they would wait for him to decide what he wants to do. If they did change their draft strategy to entertain Rogers they deserve to have no QB this year. That would be pretty dumb, but teams can be pretty dumb (e.g. trading up for Mitch Trubiski).

$100K fine for the Falcons coach and $250K to the Falcons organization for the Sanders phone number leak and prank.

Seems silly to prank a guy with his draft value. He already knows he’s going top 10 hell or high water.
