Lions release Charles Rogers

Per PFT

LIONS RELEASE ROGERS
The Detroit Lions have parted ways with receiver Charles Rogers, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft.
Rogers missed most of his first two seasons due to broken collar bones, and was ineffective in 2004, during which he was suspended four games for violation of the league's substance abuse policy. After the suspension, the team filed a grievance against Rogers for recovery of bonus money. The grievance is still pending.
Prior to the 2003 draft, there were reports that Rogers had generated a positive drug test due to a diluted urine sample. The news didn't deter the Lions and team president Matt Millen.
Other cuts include veteran running back Artose Pinner, linebacker James Davis, and rookie sixth-round CB Dee McCann.​

And away we go.... :laugh2:

at this point i'd rather take chances on a hurd or rector than to bring in someone who had it all handed to him and he just handed it back.

gimme a man willing to work and i'll bypass lazy talent all day long.

Nobody in Dallas wants him. This thread will not reach ten pages.

 

[MRTRIPOD]

I would take a chance.

I like him more than COPPER

 

[texastwister]

Should we pick up Rogeres I mean he is a former first rounder?

The Lions look to be 1 for 3 on top ten WRs the last four years, ouch.

Yeah - Roy Williams is the only one that has delivered for them. If he can string a healthy season together, he could catapult into one of the league's top receivers.

Martz is going to make that offense fly.

 

[Gaede]

Rogers is a loser.

I remember we were interested in Pinner in that draft. I know there's no room for him, just keeping it in mind

In other news...

Pittsburge released QB Omar Jacobs.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Umm, well, we could use someone to develop at WR, with number 1 potential. I might take the chance and maybe develop him like a QB and sit for a year or 2 holding the WR clipboard, lol.

Get Omar Jacobs and Charles Rogers.

I think our wide receiver core should look like this.

Terrell Owens
Terry Glenn
Patrick Crayton
Charles Rogers
Jamiaca Rector
Sam Hurd

Quarterback core should look like this::

Drew Bledsoe
Tony Romo
Brandon Jacobs

[MichaelWinicki]

Pinner huh?

I thought we had an interest in him during that draft but the Lions ended up grabbing him I think early in the 4th round and we ended up with Brady James-- not that I'm complaining.
