Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Question is now if colts keep him does he then have his contract paused where he will have one more year in 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 According to holder they can keep him and he will have another year in 24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 To be clear…. The suspensions are expected THIS WEEK. Which means it could be as soon as later today, but most likely tomorrow or Friday. And while the initial word appears to be optimistic on Rodgers, I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high just yet. This is NOT official. His suspension could still be longer than we’re hoping for. These things are tricky. As we have discussed, there are compelling reasons why it might be longer than one year. At least we know that the decision is coming soon…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw49 Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 I'm just hoping that the 4-5 other players being suspended for gambling do not include any Colts other than Rodgers. The "couple low 4 figure bets" would seem to open the possibility that those bets were not all Rodger's wagers. His normal bet was said to be 50 to $100.

Chucklez Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If it is just the one year he should consider himself the luckiest * on earth. This could've easily been "he's expected to be suspended indefinitely". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also , I guess if this involved more than one Colt player , Rodgers , it would be reported differently. So , I agree that my worries are more than likely unfounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The National Football League continues to deal with issues related to gambling. The NFL is expected to hand down season-long suspensions this week to a "handful of players" for violating the league’s gambling policy, according to ESPN. Indianapolis Colts cornerback and kick returner Isaiah Rodgers is expected to be one of the players suspended for the season, per ESPN’s report. TOM BRADY REACTS TO RYAN MALLETT'S DEATH: 'WE LOST A GREAT MAN' Rodgers has been the subject of a league investigation into a possible violation of the NFL’s gambling policy, which includes possibly gambling on Colts games. In a June 5th social media post, Rodgers admitted to an "error in judgment." "Addressing the current reports, I want to take full responsibility for my actions," Rodgers wrote. "I know I have made mistakes and I am willing to do whatever it takes to repair the situation. The last thing I ever wanted to do was to be a distraction to the Colts organization, my coaches, and my teammates. I’ve let people down that I care about. "I made an error in judgment and I am going to work hard to make sure that those mistakes are rectified throughout the process. It’s an honor to play in the NFL and I have never taken that lightly. I am very sorry for all of this." The league suspended three players indefinitely in April and gave two others six-game suspensions for violating the NFL’s gambling policy. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nfl-expected-hand-down-season-long-suspensions-handful-nfl-players-gambling-violations-report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost always actually I understand that. But the story is now nearly 4.5 hours old. And the NFL still has nothing up on their own website. So, it’s clear they’re not saying anything today. They’ll say something when they make their announcement official. I’m not saying this is good or bad, right or wrong. I’m only observing how they’ve handled this as I find it interesting.

Yoshinator Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If Rodgers is suspended for one year and his contract carries over, I would probably keep him as long as he went to gamblers anonymous. The exception would be if he bet against the Colts. That would mean he possibly threw plays in order to have us lose or give up points, and he's capable of doing it again. If he bet on the Colts or other games not involving the Colts, let him seek help and serve his suspension and see if he can be better in a years time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smonroe Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 TBH, I'm surprised it's only a year (if that in fact is true). If it's true that he bet on at least one Colts game, I was expecting a ban for life to make an example of him. It's a very slippery slope when player start gambling - on anything. It's easy to get in serious debt. Then get approached by people to 'work off the debt' during a game. I like Rodgers, I hope he really understand what those best cost him. I hope he gets another opportunity next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d get zero pay for a year. He’d have to live off his savings. Plus, he’d still be tied to the Colts for one more year of his rookie contract. In short, his life would be on hold for one year and the Colts would get him back roughly July of 24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyEric07 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Question…If the Colts cut bait with Rodgers sometime before the start of next season because of this, can they get a compensatory pick for him? Assuming it’s not gonna be a lifetime ban of course! If yes, then they should cut him asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it’s not gonna be a lifetime ban of course! If yes, then they should cut him asap! No. No compensatory pick. But they would get a modest amount of salary cap relief. It’s not a lot. I think a little over a million. And it won’t help until next fiscal season which huts in mid-March with the start of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitches Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 IMO if he only bet on the Colts when he didn't play or if he only bet on Colts wins, I would be good with keeping his rights and letting him fight for a spot on the roster next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 This will let me know where our org stands for this year. if they want to compete, they’ll go out and grab a vet corner. Maybe Marcus peters. If they’re in the building the phase (which I think they are), they will stand Pat and let the rookies learn through the fire. as a fan, I’m ok with this. We get to see what our rookies can do. This year imo was going to be a wash anyway. I’m honestly more excited to see Brents and rush out there learning and developing than to miss out on playing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 If he is only getting suspended for 1 year, then it pretty much shows he didn't bet on us to lose after a 6 week investigation. Unless the league is covering it up that he did so people won't think games are rigged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
