The business side of the NFL is a wild world, and it plays no favorites. The story over the weekend was the Badger to Badger connection of Graham Mertz and Quintez Cephus. It was this alternate reality situation of what could have been had Cephus stayed another year instead of jumping into the NFL. Now, the player who's been in the NFL longer, Cephus, is cut, while Mertz makes the 53-man roster for the Houston Texans.
Graham Mertz had a bit of a roller-coaster preseason. He was truly one of the absolute worst performers in the very first game.
