Shaun Rogers and Redskins Talking

Wow, three pages so far and I don't think I saw one post that mentioned one minor inconvenience.....no team can sign free agents until a new CBA is in place.

Not to mention that signing Rogers would be yet ANOTHER player on the wrong side of 30 that Washington would sign. What happened to all the folks screaming for a "youth movement" in D.C.? What happened to the folks screaming "Build through the draft"?

The good news is, once a CBA is in place he should come cheap, I mean he only started in ONE game all last season.

And did the judge give him permission to leave the state of Ohio? There is a little matter of Rogers carrying a loaded handgun through security at Clevelands Int'l Airport.

Rogers was good in his prime, but that time has passed. He will never be even half the player he used to be.

We're still here...well at least I am.

One of the true stud DLs when healthy. Huge guy capable of holding down the nose. Would be a huge acquisition in terms of talent and impact on the defense.

Some knucklehead tendencies though.

Rogers is not a stud at all. He's been let go by two doormat teams. Detroit and Cleveland. I don't even think he started last year.

Another old ass lazy **** FA in Wsh? Gee and I though we were rebuilding?

He's a ten year vet.
This is a band aid move if anything. We're still going to need to grab another blue chip NT in the next couple of years.

Loosen up, Sandy baby.

We can talk, no harm in that. Who said he is going to play for next year.

We still want youth and to build through the draft. The thing is we dont have many draft picks.

And did the judge give him permission to leave the state of Ohio? There is a little matter of Rogers carrying a loaded handgun through security at Clevelands Int'l Airport.

If he gets a job anywhere in the country the judge will let him go under restrictions. He has a handgun license and yes it was a bonehead move but I really dont think Dude wanted to hurt anyone.. Still a real dumb move.

That is not true.

It is true that no one can sign FA's whose contracts lapse and who change years of service with the theoretical league new year. It appears there will be many of these FA's once a new CBA is arranged.

But players who have been cut, rather than having their contracts lapse, and who have enough years of service immediately become unrestricted free agents and anyone can sign them. Whether it is wise to sign them is a separate issue.

Another old ass lazy **** FA in Wsh? Gee and I though we were rebuilding?

we'll see what happens... but if they go after this clown, then i'm not so sure shanahan and allen are any better than vinny.

Since defensive tackle Shaun Rogers has been released by the Browns, there is good reason to speculate whether or not the Dallas Cowboys will pursue him.

The Cowboys new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan coached Rogers in Cleveland for the past two seasons and raved about his talent in the past.
Ryan said the following during the summer of 2009,

“He is a tremendous physical specimen. He is so athletic for a big man. I’ve been around the best in football. I’ve been around Warren Sapp in college. I coached Jamal Williams and Kevin Williams, a couple of decent All-Pro defensive tackles. Shaun Rogers is tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. Any system that he plays in, he is going to be dominant.”

With Ryan having good things to say about Rogers and the idea that the Cowboys might move current nose tackle Jay Ratliff to defensive end, it may make the acquisition of Rogers a no brainer.

The only problem right now is Rogers latest down fall. He has had trouble in the past of playing up to his potential and right now at the age of 31, he isn’t getting any younger.

Also Rogers’ health must be a concern since he has been battling hip and ankle injuries over the past couple of seasons.

Rank the NTs right now in this league:

1) Vince Wilfork
2) Casey Hampton
3) BJ Raji
4) Shaun Rogers

Anybody else that should go ahead of Rogers? That puts it in perspective, he'd be a gigantic addition for us.

I would say Ngata, but being B-more have seen both play and Rogers was very good and doesn't have the supporting cast that Ngata has.

Don't forget Aubrayo Franklin of the 49ers and Kris Jenkins when healthy. Other premier NT's include Casey Hampton and Jay Ratliff. To be fair though Scouts Inc did have Rogers tied among the best interior D-Lineman so it may be fair to say he's tops in the league when healthy. At the very least I'm sure Orakpo would be excited to have another Texas Alum up front.
