A record of 8-9 might win that division...

Might be a good fit for Steelers....Rodgers apparently hates the WR group. Broncos keep having noise for upgrading but seem to be cheap.

Forgot he'd be subject to waivers at this time of year.

Given how waivers work, that ploy could have gone really badly for him.

Every year we see guys in their final few seasons try to latch on to contending teams for one last shot at a ring. 

Way more fail than succeed. 

Yeah, Jared Allen, Josh Norman, Courtland Finnegan, Roman Harper, Keyshawn Johnson..I am sure I am missing a few.

I had forgotten to rule change also. Stupid rules. I hate rules.

I think the move makes sense.  Theilen just wants to play to finish this last one out.  His wife and family are bacK home.  Rodgers just wants a human that will run correct routes.  Steelers in a dead heat for the division.  Makes sense.   Throw him in the slot and let him play some TE style ball like he did here.  It’s low ceiling but Rodgers willl likely make use of it
