The Facts:
Rodgers was sentenced to 15 months’ probation Monday for unlawfully carrying a firearm -- a charge stemming from allegations that he fired two shots into the air outside a bar in May. Rodgers reached an agreement with prosecutors Monday in which he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor gun-possession charge and received 15 months’ deferred adjudication probation. He was also ordered to pay a $500 fine.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Deferred adjudication probation means that if Rodgers successfully completes his probation, the case will be dismissed and a conviction will not appear on his record. Rodgers will also not be required to report regularly to a probation officer, since he will be traveling with the Packers if he makes the team. If he does make the team, Rogers could face sanctions under the NFL's personal conduct policy.
