<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DETROIT - The Detroit Lions cut Charles Rogers on Saturday, three years after they drafted the receiver second overall.Rogers' Detroit career ended with only 36 receptions for 440 yards and four touchdowns along with two broken collarbones and a four-game suspension.First-year coach Rod Marinelli was unimpressed by Rogers' work ethic and production during training camp, when he was slowed by a sore knee. The new staff also did not have a history with Rogers like team president Matt Millen, who helped draft the former Michigan State star and gave him a $14.2 million signing bonus.AP NEWS</div>http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9634066I think he's better off without he Lions.
I was just gonna post it. Someone will definately take a chance on him, maybe being rid of Harrington and the Lions will finally help him turn his career around.
Bears better be on the phone. Maybe a fresh start, will do Rogers some good. He'd looked nice in orange and blue. :whistling:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2570128Could be great if he can stay healthy. I still remember his sick catch (from Jeff Smoker himself) against Notre Dame in the back on the end zone. That catch was awesome.
Seriously, Detroit isn't the ideal place for a troubled player to go. Detroit's environment is probably the dirtiest figuratively all the NFL cities.
Rogers is going to be a bigtime player somewhere, I have seem his potential.Biggest reason for his shitty work ethic? He never left home. He's stll in town partying with his college buddies all night long. He's been injured the last 2 years, which again means..more party time for him and his local friends. Basically that's all he's been doing. Having ot move a distance away from them, and concentrating on football I think is going to make a huge difference. Any team that gets him is getting a nice gem.And Chang..your statement is so far off it's not even funny you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
