Lions release Charles Rogers

[Sandman52]

Why did Jacobs get cut? They only wanted him to be the 3rd QB this season. There is definitely something wrong there with that picture. I would temper my excite on Omar Jacobs.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

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.

Yes we were interested in Pinner at the time.

 

[Crown Royal]

Who is Pinner?

artose pinner was a RB from Kentucky.

Pitt also cut their other #3 QB, Shane Boyd, too.

They're going w/two on the active roster and are planning to put one of them on the PS. I think the spin is that they like both, but will prolly go w/Boyd, because he's further along than Jacobs.

Detroit also cut Kelly Butler as per Purdue rivals, he was a very good RT at Purdue. I remember him toying with Matt Roth his junior year. I also remember 2 alcohol related arrests his last week at Purdue.

No to Rogers. He was given the world and threw it away. One of the bigger busts in recent memory.

Now Jacobs, on the other hand, is a guy I'd like to keep as a developmental prospect. He has to be better than Mroz right?

 

[baj1dallas]

oh God. here it comes.

SIGN HIM UP!!!!! this guy's really fast, he is tall...he made some nice catches 2 or 3 years ago...dump skyler green and sign CRog to return punts! this team is doomed if we don't sign him, doomed I tell you!!! We'll Rue the day!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE


(ps how was that?)

Yeah - I was at the Detroit/Dallas game last year and sat behind a group of Lions fans. They were convinced that it was going to be Roger's year, with Roy Williams drawing coverage to his side.

I don't see Rogers being a Jimmy Williams type guy elsewhere, either. He is going to be forgotten a la Peerless Price.

 

[dallasfan]

FYI, Charles Rogers will go to the waiver wire since he has less than 4 years experience.

He probably won't get picked up, if his contract is large.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Forget Rogers and sign Jacobs to the PS.

I think you meant Jimmy Smith, but I see where you're going.

Roy Williams, Charles Rogers, Mike Williams. If those guys would have panned out and Harrington lived up to his #3 overall status, not a team in the league would be able to stop their pass. Too tall, too strong, too good. They could have been legendary.

Alas, that's not the case. Roy Williams is a beast and would be a top five receiver if he could get on a decent team. Williams has shown that he's more of a small TE than a legitimate WR (which frankly shocks me as I thought he was going to be productive). I guess it's still early for him, but it's an uphill battle.

And Rogers, well, all-world talent controlled by a clueless brain and wilted heart. He's got his millions and that's all he really needs. He's set for life; he doesn't need football and we don't need him.

b b bubu but...

"After 24 hours, we will start contacting teams and I'm sure teams will be contacting us," Poston told The Associated Press. "He's a 25-year-old receiver with a lot of talent."

I do.

And yeah - R. Williams is amazing for them. Martz will eat that up.

I have never been high on Mike Williams, but I also still think he has something to give. He just needs to get 'it.' But he really hurt himself by going into the draft and then being shut out. Even if he could have been drafted, I think he needed more college work.

o rly?

Definitely won't be a Cowboy.

 

[superpunk]

Drew Bledsoe
Tony Romo
Brandon Jacobs

Stay away from Jacobs and Rogers. Jacobs couldn't make a roster where Charlie Batch is the QB, in a system that probably fit him pretty well.

 

[dallasfan]

He'sin his rookie contract which is probably mainly bonus money, and could easily be re-worked. Someone will pick him up before we get a chance, not that I want him though.

 

[DallasDomination]

I dont want a bust here. I'll take rector and Hurd over him.

True. I don't think he's a bust though. he just have to stay out of trouble and stay healthy. That's all. He could really be a steal if we can get him to commit to doing those things. But who knows?. I do Like Rector and Hurd better than I like a whole lot of wide receivers in the league that's so called good.
