Devlin Hodges contract and salary cap details, full contract breakdowns, salaries, signing bonus, roster bonus, dead money, and valuations.

The Duck was not out of the water for long. Quarterback Devlin Hodges has signed with the Los Angeles Rams after the Pittsburgh Steelers chose not to renew his contract.

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that theyve signed Davenport native and former Iowa Hawkeye Jake Gervase to a reserve/futures contract. If you dont speak NFL, that means theyve signed a contract saying theyre going to keep him around and dont want him going anywhere else. Gervase signed on with the Rams as an undrafted rookie in 2019, but was waived last offseason before landing back with the team on the practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster for Week 15 as a COVID-19 rep...

Lets get to it: WAYNE PAUGH FROM DENVER, CO: Can you explain in greater detail the functionality of an NFL futures deal? With a quarterback like Dwayne Haskins having finished third in Heisman voting and drafted in the first round, I assume his skill-set is not typically seen in most futures deals. As a result of signing him, what rights have the Steelers acquired (right to negotiate, to invite to camp, etc.)? If any personal or behavioral issues are resolved, does Haskins have a chance to ente...

One of those players was quarterback Devlin Hodges. The man fondly called “Duck” for his duck calling expertise, was able to be a significant player during the 2019 season. After Ben Roethlisberger was lost in Week 2 vs. the Seattle Seahawks with an elbow injury, and a concussion removed Mason Rudolph from the lineup, it was Duck’s...

Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images Just two years ago, Dwayne Haskins Jr. was viewed as the top quarterback of the 2019 draft. Names like Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, and Drew Lock were consistently ranked behind the Ohio State gunslinger. Somewhere during the draft process Haskins took a step back which triggered a snowballing effect on his career. Haskins now finds himself competing for his NFL life in the Pittsburgh Steelers system. But how did he get here? How did Haskins blossom into one o...

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images The 2020 season was unique in a lot of ways. Whether it be the empty stadiums, games moves or delayed and players going on the Reserve/COVID-19 List almost weekly. It was different, but an aspect of the 2020 season which might get overlooked were the inflated practice squads for all 32 NFL teams. When the NFL and NFLPA came to terms on a one year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for 2020, they agreed to increase the practice squad size, as well as alter ...

Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images Mason Rudolph walked into First Energy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns on November 14th, after one of his best games as an NFL quarterback. Against the Los Angeles Rams Mason Rudolph played like an NFL starter, posting the 6th highest passing yards the Rams would give up in 2019, and avoiding turnovers. The difficulty of the matchup was compounded by the Steelers run game struggling monumentally, gaining only 42 yards, the second lowest total the Rams all...

Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/Getty Images The Steelers lost their 3rd game of the 2020 season, falling to a two win Bengals team. Snapping an eleven game win streak that survived Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges in 2019 doesn’t just happen, and the snap counts show the amount of turnover involved in the Steelers’ losing streak. Offense The Steelers had four of their offensive lineman healthy and playing the full game this week. Matt Feiler’s absence led to J.C. Hassenauer making his first car...
