Too bad, I felt like he was going to have a breakout year.

Wow, surprised a guy like Irsay wouldn't be all about 2nd chances....even third chances!

1. He is.
2. This is league sanctions. You want two guys on the roster who cant contribute?
3. This makes the colts look bad. Irsay has a big heart, but this hurts the bottom line. Thats why they fired the last head coach. Didnt win in a league where winning is the only thing

Safe to presume our secondary is going to get torched this season? Smh

Rodgers probably would have secured one of the starting CB spots this season.
Berry was an end of roster / practice squad type player. The Colts were already his fourth team over a 3 year career.

I assumed that Rodgers and Moore were going to be the starters.

Same here, but Bradley just didn't seem to want Rodgers to start last season.
For that reason, I believe that whichever rookie CB looked the best would have gotten the starting nod over Rodgers.

I hope they pick Rodgers back up once he's reinstated. He probably would've been the starter had this not happened. Even if the Colts get nothing else out of him, he's been well worth the 6th round pick used on him.

They still had Gilmore. I figured Rodgers would fill his spot this season. What do I know?

Unless something has changed over the past year Rodgers could have been put on Reserve/Suspended status and not counted towards the roster (or the cap I think).

Reserve/Suspended: Any player who is currently suspended from the NFL. Such a player does not count toward roster limits and is not paid his base salary while on this list. Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley is a current example of someone on this list.
Guessing this is more about image than anything else. Like others on here I'd like to see him back if he can get it together.

Commish's take is probably based on Facyson playing more than Rodgers even though it was obvious that Rodgers is better, so Bradley probably didn't like Rodgers b/c of his size, etc.

I had honestly forgotten about Facyson. Thanks a lot.

He might get one. When he is eligible to play again.

So if the league suspends a player for the season and you want to retain him he has to take one of your roster spots? Are you sure about that?:confused:

Unless the rule has changed since last year's training camp they don't (link in my earlier post).

Sorry, I missed your post, I didn't think that sounded fair to the team. But since the Colts cut him, I wonder what happens if the league reinstates him after one year? Would he just be a free agent?

Rogers is suspended indefinitely, so they need to waive him to fill his spot

I would have to see the league rules to know if you are correct. Calvin Ridley did not cost Atlanta a spot, did he?

No worries. I was just being lazy about reposting the link. I presume he would be a FA if reinstated since we released him and it doesn't look like anyone put in a waiver claim for him which isn't surprising at all.

Per this article he didn't. This is from Aug. '22 so maybe the rule has changed, but I doubt it.

I see this as almost purely a business decision. It is my guess that almost everyone who is competitive as NFL types bet on something. If not their friends do. There is no moral issue here. I believe that the powers that be in the NFL think that gambling is one of the things that could burn in a huge way this billion dollar business. No way they are going to chance finding out if they are right. Rogers may come back but I would think he would have do enough public service work to become the poster boy for gamblers anonymous in his year away to have a chance.

Rodgers found his next gig - that is, whenever his suspension is lifted.
Today the Eagles signed him and then immediately placed him on the Suspended List.

The Eagles signed CB Isaiah Rodgers, who was then placed on the Reserve/Suspended list.
He’s out at least a year for violations of the league’s gambling policy.
