Like you, i want the best guys on the field. I dont think we should give in to Rogers trade demands, but if he becomes a "lockerroom cancer," id rather not have a terrell owens like player who can disrupt the unity of a team. In that scenario, rogers would have to go. Fortunately, were not there yet and if the situation is handled properly by our management, it wont get there. I get the vibe Rogers just need to feel "valued" right now and he'll shut up, especially if we promise to offer him a nice contract extension after the 2009 season.

^^^This is the key to keeping Rogers and keeping Rogers productive.

What we dont need is a guy who does'nt want to be here. Or a starter who feels he's not wanted or valued as a starter. Rogers is without a doubt a starter.
