Rosario Keeps Preparing

Dante Rosario sat on the sideline at Linfield’s Maxwell Field late last week, watching the kids at his “Dante’s Inferno” football camp run. As they scampered around the field in neon-green shirts, Rosario seemed relaxed, enjoying the camp and the sun.

Rosario, a fifth-year NFL tight end originally from Dayton, said he enjoyed coming back home because it was a way for him to not worry about the uncertainty surrounding his professional career. The NFL lockout has held Rosario in limbo because as a restricted free agent, he started the work stoppage without a contract with his team, the Carolina Panthers. He was tendered (temporarily put back onto the Panthers roster) for the duration of the lockout, but Rosario said he wouldn’t know his fate until after the negotiations were over.

“I could be with Carolina; there’s a good chance I will,” Rosario said. “Or, I could for another reason be with another team. That’s still unknown. Either way, I’ll be prepared.”

CARRY ON
