Charles Rogers is gone (1 Viewer)

The next Belichick reclamation project? Hopefully works better than Terrell..........
They could use the talent, but I doubt they take the risk. Of course it would be a huge slap in the face of Branch. :yes: Maybe enough motivation to get his ### on the field.

nah, it would just further motivate Branches efforts to get out of NE. As far as CR goes...It does seem a shame to have all that talent "wasted"

he might have to start buyin the cheap weed or invest in a roach clip or something
Who picks this guy up?
The Raiders, of course.. just kidding, but I suspect teams that may show some interest include Green Bay, New Orleans, Miami, Washington.. Seattle and NY Jets have interest in Branch, but I don't know if they may also have interested in Rogers. Cincinnati has room for another criminal, but little need for another receiver.
 
Somebody will take a flier. The thing with him might be he got the money & got lazy. It happens more than people think, IMO. I don't believe it's a lack of talent (although, it's evident he's not as talented as originally thought). If he wakes up & smells the coffee, he could make a nice pickup for a WR-needy team.

Then again, the chances are he'll continue to be lazy. Stranger things have happened, though.

How many times have you seen a player whith such baggage and poor performance turn it around? Im sure its happened but it just seems like the combo of injuries, and personal "issues" would limit the probablity of his doing anything of any significance anywhere else.

Buddy, why'd you cut Cris Carter?"All he does is catch touchdowns."

I think the biggest issue with CR is that he was drafted by his hometown team, so he never got away from the negative influences in his life. I really believe the kid has talent, hopefully he can turn it around if he moves across the country.
 
Green Bay could take a shot at him! Waiver pick up is based on last years record.
I think the Saints or Texans will grab him since it does go in order.......Here is whyTexans- Moulds is old and won't be there very long. Plus Johnson and Rogers are from the same draft class and that could be a nice one two punch for years to come if Rogers gets his head screwed on.Saints- With Stallworth gone they are in great need of a WR.
 
I think NO or Vikes pick him up. This is going to be great for CR, he is too talented not to produce.
he doesnt have enough talent to compensate for a mediocre work ethic . . . geesh, he couldnt beat out Corey Bradford, Glenn Martinez, and Mike Furrey??too funny . . .
 
Rogers was lazy and into drugs at MSU, but he had the talent to overcome it. In the NFL he is stiil lazy and could not overcome it.

MSU players have alwys had character issues.

i know OAK is loaded at WR but porter may not be in the picture anymore, & rogers if he plays up to his potential would absolutely be upgrade over gabriel... they are notorious for taking chances on bad boys & also collect former first rounders like some people do grocery coupons...

ditto for TB (allen & gruden were with OAK)... they are also loaded at WR, but galloway is older... then again, they may be grooming stovall to replace galloway & he is devestating run blocker like clayton...

DEN could use a WR3 & they did draft clarett... :)

I guess we would have to put him up there with David Terrell for first round WR BUSTS!

:clap: That's the first thing I thought of!
Carter had a pretty healthy coke habit and getting cut woke him up.

Didn't Michigan have the fab five? That program had ethical issues.

Explain the waiver wire process to me in terms of when we can expect CRog to hook up with another team? I understand it's worst to first, but how long does this process take?

I'd love it if the Texans would take a flier out on this guy. I like our WRs as is, but heck why not assign one to the practice squad and if Rogers still busts down here then drop him and move the other WR back up.Andre Johnson, Eric Moulds, Charles Rogers, Kevin Walters, Jerome Mathis (injured), Derrick Lewis, and then assign Anderson to the practice squad until Rogers is evaluated. :banned:

Different sport and different programs entirely. One has nothing to do with the other. The fact is, certain programs recruit questionable players becuase they feel they have to. MSU has to in order to compete with Michigan. Florida St. is another one that takes on questionable ethical players in order to compete with Miami and Florida. It's the chance you take. Michigan St. has a history of having more troubled players than the average program for that very reason.

That's coke vs. weed for ya.
 
I really thought Rogers was going to be a great WR in the NFL. Watching his abilities it MSU, I definately saw some "Moss-like" qualities. Unfortunately, it was another shade of green that has colored his career (as I am about to take a bong hit on a rainy saturday :coffee: )

After those first four games before he was injured, guy DID produce and looked great. What a waste of talent so far.

why is everyone so anxious to pick up a loser??
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Lot's of teams trade or pick up other teams rejects thinking they can turn that player around because he just wasn't "coached right" or wasn't given enough of a chance. Taking a flyer on a former #2 overall pick is a chance someone is going to take.

Speaking of MSU, was Saban still the coach for the Spartans when CR was there? I don't think the Phins really need him, but a possible connection....

 
From rotoworld.com

Lions WR Shaun Bodiford has made the team's 53-man roster.It's remarkable that Bodiford, a player of Portland State who never topped 600 yards receiving in a college season, beat out Charles Rogers for a spot.
He might be nice sleeper because according to some peple who shall remain nameless, Kitna is going to throw for 4000 yards this season. :) BTW: When I was listening to one of the Lions game on Sirius radio, I thought the announcer was mispronouncing Bradford's name because I never heard of Bodiford until then.
 
Something to consider - Rogers was doing pretty darn well before he got hurt, his rookie year. The love of the weed and laziness prevented him from mounting a successful comeback.

Obvisously, we can never know, but I wonder if Rogers could have had a good career had he not gotten hurt so young into his career.

I believe it would be Bobby Williams who recruited Rogers since he started as MSU's coach for the 2000 season (which is when Rogers graduated HS). Saban left to coach LSU after the 1999 season.

He's correct.
