He is one puff away from an indefinite suspension.
Who do you cut to make room for him? I guess one of the rookie WRs. And then who do you cut when Teddy comes back?
Case does not have the arm to reach him. Does Teddy? Sam does, but is he still in the plans. Sloter?
We are a "spread-it-around" offense. Will he get many more looks here than he does in Pittsburgh? If not, he will certainly complain and become a distraction.
With his attitude, does he fit in our locker room?
Maybe for a 7th but probably not at all.

I just threw it out there as topical: I think the odds are low he leaves the Steelers. He's talented and they'll work it out.
I have him in two fantasy leagues...

I don't know if Rapelesberger doesn't trust him or what, but he's certainly under-used in supposedly an explosive offense.
No way. Sure, he is an athletic talent, but he's always got some issue going on. Did you see the message he put out about teammate Juju Smith-Schuster? “Juju is no where near better than me fool all they need to do is give me what I want and y’all can have juju and who ever else.” I think that answers the question of whether he would fit in the locker room.
Also, we already have Michael Floyd on the roster. The two are similar high risk/reward projects, and I see Floyd as having much better chances for success on the Vikings due to having other players he knows (Rudolph and Smith) and family in this area. Floyd hasn't been especially impressive yet, but he also hasn't shown any sign of being a prima dona.
nope, but thats only because we are currently pretty set at the position and we dont have a good track record with disgruntled speedsters from Pittsburgh.

I agree, I don't want to start filling up the roster with malcontents. We seem to have really good chemistry on the team right now and a lot of guys who are all about the team and have bought in.
Why mess with the chemistry of the team, especially for someone that is athletically gifted but seems to be a head case.

When Teddy comes back you cut the 3rd QB or IR Bradford. You cant keep 4 QBs.

I think you have to keep both Bradford and Sloter. Rodney Adams has got to go.

I am not seeing how we do this if all are healthy at the same time or looking like they will return. Sam is IMO the least likely to be on the team next year, but IMO he is the best of the bunch when healthy so its hard to move him if he has a chance to return. Teddy is Teddy, we really dont need to do that again, Case is the only one that has starter experience and hasnt looked fragile, but Sloter has a lot of future potential based on what weve seen and his physical traits so.... glad its not my decision.
