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?
