Rogers tendered-whines about it

I heard on the NFLN last night that they think there will be a couple of trades for the RFAs due to the fact that the UFA talent is not that great. Now a 1st or 2nd is def not possible, but anything beneath that, I would say that it may be.

I hope youre right. The Browns need QB and CB help... badly. And they have 11 picks. I bet we could ship both of them to cleaveland for their 2nd and one of their 5th round picks. thats pure speculation of course.

Poor Rogers...I feel his pain. Don't worry brother, you're too talented for someone not to want to give up a first rounder and give you millions of dollars more.

Plays like a 3rd rounder, talks like a Hall of Famer.

Agreed. I have no sympathy for these players. It's a new day in Redskin land.

I think the tender gives the Redskins a little wiggle room to negotiate here. At least they're not approaching the table and letting the other team set the price; the perceived value has already been set by the Redskins in this instance. And as others have stated, just because we've tendered Rogers doesn't mean he won't eventually get traded.

Who knows, we might see the Auburn express (Campbell and Rogers) get packaged together, shipped out, and we draft Sam Bradford straight up. I think the Redskins have an ace up their sleeve for sure.

Ehhhhh, to be truthful.........I dont think letting Rogers go for a 3rd rounder is actually that sound of a decision. 1st round pick, yes, gotta take that. But weighing the VIABLE options at starting CB, and given that in coverage, the guy is in the top half of the Leagues CB's, and he IS talented, knowing the extreme shortage of good cover guys out in FA this year, I just dont know. You guys definitely calling 'los a bust are I think being a bit too critical. Not everyone is Deion Sanders or Darrell Green or Chap Bailey. The guys hands suck, no question. But I definitely think, given the current FA pickings for DB's, we could get a second rounder for hi, or he could be part of a nice package deal to bring a nice RFA in a trade.

Really, give him up for a third????? Id wager over half the teams in the league would take that deal. We tendered 'los with a 1st round tender, and that in my eyes at least is a very feasible tender. We actually could end up getting that. But not for a 3rd. aybe a 3rd AND 4th, but definitely not for just one of those.

you do realize that Carlos Rogers will be an unrestricted free agent next year, right? And that (as of right now) we have no desire to keep him and he has absolutely no desire to stay?

So, What is the source that we have no desire to keep him? I havent heard that.......

Are you saying that because we didnt offer the highest tender for him, that we want to part ways?? If that is all you are going on, I think you are just plain wrong, and you are assuming too much.

The latest from C.Rogers: Redskins Insider - Carlos Rogers says he wants 'a new start' elsewhere (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/free-agency/carlos-rogers-says-he-wants-a.html#more)


Please get rid of him!! I'm sick of his crap!
He's definitely not the most admirable guy on our staff but if what he says is true I'd be pissed too.

If Dunta Robinson signs with us, there's a good chance we'll get some offers for Rogers from teams who need a CB. There simply won't be anyone else out there worth looking at in the free agent market and it appears to be a very weak draft for CBs. I think if someone offers us a 4th, we'd take it.

Good insight. That almost gives us an incentive to lock Robinson up even if we overpay, because it allows us to 1) discard a lesser player w/ an piss-poor attitude 2) probably get more compensation for Rogers than we would otherwise. I like it.
