Asked if he will speak to Reddick, a smiling Rodgers said,"Yeah, it's possible. Anything is possible." Reddick, 29, is being fined a mandatory $50,000 per day, bringing his training camp bill up to $1.1 million. In addition, he has accumulated an estimated $300,000 in discretionary fines in camp. Previously, he was fined $100,000 for skipping minicamp and he forfeited a $250,000 workout bonus. All told, it's $1.75 million in lost money.
