Former Steeler WR Eli Rogers trying out for Chiefs (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=316362)

Hes better than Chesson

With Mahomes we will actually use every WR on the active roster. Best 5 or 6 will make it and actually be used. I think he would be a sneaky good signing.

Can he play special teams? That's what the #5 and #6 WRs on a roster have to do, and Im sure Toub has more influence than most when it comes to those types of roster spots.

So, why is he available other than injury. there's 31 other teams out there.

As long as we cut DAT.

Sure,

we need some bodies to play in games 3-4 of preseason.

Feel free to mute

4.4 guy that's not too shabby. Appears to have good hands.

Injury. He just tore his ACL in January. That is a quick recovery. If the knee is good, he'll get offers from multiple teams to compete for a spot.

So he's had a broken foot and a blown ACL ???

Foot was in college no? I looked up his injury history and it looks like he missed a couple games due to turf toe in 2016 and then last season had the ACL.

I’m all for bring in a reliable slot WR. Any word on the Marty Carter workout?

Why not 14 WRs? It's July. It's like the Republican primaries.

Is he much better than Conley?

What did he do with the Steelers besides make the team as an undrafted free agent? Put up one or two decent games when there were some injuries in 2016. In 2017 all he did was get buried behind Heyward-Bey, Bryant, and Smith-Schuster. You can argue that those guys are a murderer's row of great WRs for what Eli Rogers actually is, but if we're blaming high competition, does that mean Rogers is ACTUALLY that much better than Conley? Hell, is he even better than Demarcus Robinson? Where do you see in his production with the Steelers that he's a "big upgrade" over what we currently have competing for WR3 and WR4?

Don't get me wrong. Bring him aboard if he's healthy. Let's find out. Maybe he IS that really good slot receiver people think he is.

However, thus far, I look at his stats, production, and where he came from, and all I see is an Albert Wilson clone.

We have zero evidence that he's a big upgrade.
