    UPDATE: Eli Rogers signs with Steelers

    The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Wednesday for the start of their 2018 training camp and it’s beginning to look more and more like wide receiver Eli Rogers won’t be on the initial 90-man roster come that time.

    According to a Saturday morning report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, Rogers, who has spent the last three seasons with the Steelers after being originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville, is scheduled to work out Sunday for the Kansas City Chiefs. Rogers was not restricted tendered by the Steelers this offseason due to his injury.

    Meh. I like Eli Rogers, but am not really disturbed if he leaves. Somewhere along the line, another youngish WR that runs decent routes will emerge on the Steelers 90 man or get cut loose by another team. Additionally, if they are actually serious about given Q Henderson a shot, then he and Eli would be slotted for the same role.

    THe biggest negative is the WR corps is shaping up to be really inexperienced. But I keep worrying about that and it keeps not mattering.

    Apparently not coming back well after his injury. I hope he catches on somewhere, as its a shame to see a guy like him have his career cut short by injury. He was an emerging slot WR.

    I think Marcus Tucker has a chance, but only if they keep 6WR. Brown, JuJu, Washington, Hunter and DHB are the likely top 5.

    I know I say it every year but I believe this is the year DHB goes ...

    sure he is a ST guy but with all the new S added I think we got that role covered Berhe is a quality ST player and I think we will come to find out so is Marcus Allen
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Re: Former Steelers WR Eli Rogers Has Workout Scheduled With Chiefs

    Rogers, supposedly, has workouts scheduled with Oakland and Cleveland as well. A receiving Corp of Eli Rogers, Martavis Bryant and Amari Cooper doesn’t sound terrible if Rogers is healthy and Bryant stays straight. But a Gordon, Landry, Coleman and Rogers could arguably be one of the best in the league...

    I agree with you, I say it every year but Tomlin's most favorite players in the NFL are Mike Vick and DHB. I just don't see him not making the 53 man roster despite younger players being able to deliver the skills that he brings to the team.

    DHB is tougher to kill than Michael Myers.

    Add Saquon Barkley to the mix, and the Browns have the best complimentary skill players in the NFL.

    Oh... right.

    Re: Former Steelers WR Eli Rogers Has Workout Scheduled With Chiefs

    way off topic but speaking of Cleveland ... I still can not believe they didn't take Bradley Chubb at 4 ...what a pair of bookends they would have if they would have ...

    but the browns being the browns , didnt take the best QB when they had the #1 over all pick and didnt take the best player on the board ( and perhaps in the draft ) when he was there at pick 4 ....

    so once again they screwed up not once but twice in the first round ... talk about deja vu

    As an analyst stated during the draft:

    The best two players in the draft went #2 & #3... but, unfortunately for the Browns, they were selecting #1 & #4.”

    Whoops!!!

    That should have said #2 (Barkley) and #5 (Chubb).

    Re: Former Steelers WR Eli Rogers Has Workout Scheduled With Chiefs

    Marcus Tucker now has his shot to make the 53 as a slot receiver.

    Question now is who will return punts? Rogers took over last season for AB and looked well. So Quadree Henderson has a chance.
    1. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 2. Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 3. ​Renardo Green, CB, FSU 4. Mo Kamara, OLB, Colorado State 6. Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 6.Khristian Boyd, NT, Northern Iowa

    Re: Former Steelers WR Eli Rogers Has Workout Scheduled With Chiefs

    JuJu is going to be an excellent slot receiver. I think it could be AB and Washington outside, and JuJu in the slot much of the time. Having JuJu in the slot also gives them a big, physical player that can help block in the running game. Larry Fitzgerald rejuvenated his career by moving into the slot and playing that physical role with the Cardinals.

    I love the top 3 WR and believe they will be dynamite when Washington gets completely up to speed.

    I wish Rogers the best. It sucks when a player gets a major injury and has to fight through that to regain employment at a reduced rate.

    At this point, if we keep DHB, we're basically carrying four receivers because his days as a legitimate WR are long gone.

    Nonetheless, I am convinced that's exactly what we'll do. Better hope nobody gets hurt ...

    I'm glad the Browns were too stupid to draft Chubb. Adding him could have made Cleveland's D-Line downright scary

    Re: Former Steelers WR Eli Rogers Has Workout Scheduled With Chiefs

    AB, JuJu, Hunter, DHB, Washington, Tucker, J. Thomas, Quad, and Tevin Jones. Out of these 9 names, yes I would keep DHB. Quad is only 5'8" and sub 200lbs. We already know who Justin Hunter is on the football field. Thomas and Tucker are a couple smaller guys that have some experience in this offense but they didn't beat out Rogers before. I'm somewhat familiar with Tevin Jones because he played for my school but I don't expect anything eye popping. Unless I'm missing a piece DHB currently has that 6th roster spot.

    honestly Hunter has more upside than DHB at this juncture considering he is not needed for ST with the additions of Marcus Allen and Berhe ...DHB best asset was speed , speed I am not so sure he possesses at this juncture ( 31 + ) Hunter is much younger & more talented on paper .... push come to shove I do not want the game riding on the ability of either of them having to make a play because they likely will drop the ball .... so there is that

    Yep. Garrett & Chubb would have been the best pass-rushing duo in the NFL.

    Indeed... but, thankfully we don’t have to play them twice per season.

    Ray is likely out due to injury, ineffectiveness, and the fact that they declined his 5th year option.
