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

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

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).

https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-trainin...t-nfi-and-more

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.

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?

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