I was on the ‘Re-Sign Eli Rogers’ Committee in the offseason. I was a member of the ‘Eli Rogers Should Make The 53-Man Roster Festivities of late August. For months, I’ve been a part of the re-energized Re-sign Rogers campaign, but to no avail, as the Pittsburgh Steelers clearly have no interest in doing so, instead signing two practice squad players—one from another team—to their 53-man roster.
And so after a four-year NFL career, the former undrafted free agent out of Louisville is taking what he surely hopes to be a temporary detour, agreeing to sign with Vince McMahon’s rebooted XFL.
