I don't understand the Lions reasoning. They could have traded one or the other before or during the draft. They didn't pull the trigger and now the may release one? The Lions spent top 10 picks on both of them. I think both players still have tons of value especially considering how young they are. Who the hell gives up on 21, 22 year old WR's who have top end skills? now that im done venting...
Charles Rogers is a waste of talent, but Mike Williams still has major promise.I don't understand the Lions reasoning. They could have traded one or the other before or during the draft.

There were offers for Rogers? Link?The answer to your question - people that don't want crackheads on their team.I don't understand the Lions reasoning.

I think the writer here, Tom Kowalski, is full of crap. He's the local "Lions insider", but he's wrong a lot more of the time than he's right about the Lions.I don't understand the Lions reasoning.

Not only that, but his "source" in this case is Tony Ortiz, and even more outside "insider" that was on the radio in Detroit yesterday claiming that BMW was going to be cut in training camp. it's all bollocks.I think the writer here, Tom Kowalski, is full of crap.

the Lions.but who's to say it isn't the right move sometimes?wholesale flushing of the roster can be a good thing when a new regime begins. (the Browns are a good example of this) BUT, the fact that they still have Millen negates this train of thought. so, basically, i would file this under "the Lions will suck until they get a new GM"
I agree with you on Williams. Maybe I would agree with you on Rogers if we were only talking about skills and possibly even attitude. However, his violations of the substance policy that got him the 4 game suspension is enough to tip the scales for me. Ship him out!I don't understand the Lions reasoning.

I would agree with this...You can't drop Williams ALREADY, when you just drafted him a year ago. If he were heavy into drugs and such, and already had a bunch of strikes against him, then sure, I could see that. But because he's "fat" or "lazy" or anything? Nah, not yet. Give the new coaching staff time to work with him. You don't invest a top 10 pick on him and then drop him a year later, sorry. I'd give him two years to shape up and produce, and then drop him. Which leads me to Rogers.... he would be a prime candidate to drop. Already has 3 strikes, been an injury risk, etc. I'd be willing to give him one more shot, but that's about it. I like the idea of playing him, trying to increase his value, and then trying to trade him mid-season or something...
That's like the blind leading the blind. I don't know how either one of these guys can be considered an insider when they rarely have accurate inside information. Their facts change faster than the weather in Michigan. I would be shocked if the Lions cut BMW. I think he is going to be a solid player. He just needs a little more time. Rogers may be done in Detroit. But I think he gets one more year too.Not only that, but his "source" in this case is Tony Ortiz, and even more outside "insider" that was on the radio in Detroit yesterday claiming that BMW was going to be cut in training camp. it's all bollocks.I think the writer here, Tom Kowalski, is full of crap.

Mike Williams gets an undue amount of flak for only being a rookie last year. He wasn't as dedicated as he should have been, but he is young and came from an undisciplined program to an undisciplined NFL team under Mooch. From everything I've read since the end of the season about him, he seemed to realized how much he effed up by not working harder and now wants to put in the work to be a great WR. IMO, he's not even in the same league as Rogers and they really should be mentioned in the same sentence about being cut.

While it is POSSIBLE that either will be gone, and I won't totally discount that, I also take all of Killer's (Kowalski) stuff with a grain of salt.
So he is the Lion's version of Charley Walters of Vikings' "fame"?? :X
I'm sure the cap hit would be substantial, which is why neither will be dumped... IMO.However if Rogers fails another test and looses a season their might be a clause in his contract where they can nullify it due to substance abuse.
Why do that? They'll just have to move again in 5 years because the city can't support them...
