In a stunning turn of events, the Baltimore Ravens or Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly considering pursuing wideout Eli Rogers as he attempts to make a comeback bid in the upcoming regular season. The veteran player has taken to social media to express his desire to return to the league, even going so far as to criticize other receivers currently in the NFL.
Rogers, once a fan-favorite of Ben Roethlisberger during the 2016 season, had an impressive 48 receptions for 594 yards and three touchdowns in just 13 games. Unfortunately, his momentum was halted by an ACL injury the following year, and he struggled to make an impact in the seasons that followed despite a contract extension.
After spending the last few years on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity, Rogers is eager to prove himself once again on the field. While some may view his confidence as overbearing, there are still those who believe he has what it takes to make a successful comeback. The Steelers community in particular is optimistic about his potential return to the league.
The Chiefs, in particular, are facing challenges in their receiving corps with injuries to Marquise Brown and off-field issues with Rashee Rice. With question marks surrounding Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman, adding Rogers to the mix could provide some much-needed competition. Similarly, the Steelers may also be interested in bringing Rogers back into the fold to bolster their receiving options.
Despite the rumors swirling around potential trades for other star receivers, Rogers remains a viable option for teams looking to add depth at the position. The Chargers, on the other hand, seem to have their own set of challenges ahead with a lackluster passing game that could use a boost from a veteran receiver like Rogers.
As the NFL season approaches, the fate of Eli Rogers hangs in the balance as teams weigh the risks and rewards of giving him another shot on the field. Whether it’s the Ravens, Chiefs, or another team, the opportunity for Rogers to make his comeback bid is within reach – all he needs is a chance to showcase his talents once again.
