How about a WR trio of Terry Glenn-Terrell Owens-Charles Rogers??
Air Bledsoe all over the field....Not to mention Witten,Crayton, Barber/Jones out of the backfield...
NICE.....
Would have to get him cheap.
LIONS DEBATE DUMPING ROGERS
The Detroit Lions are seriously considering the possibility of releasing receiver Charles Rogers, we're told. He was the second overall pick in the 2003 draft, and he missed most of his first two seasons due to two separate breaks of a collar bone.
Healthy in 2005, Rogers was suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He reportedly sulked after returning from the suspension, and the team generally has been unhappy with his attitude in the wake of it.
The fact that the team is chasing him for a return of most of his signing bonus might have a little to do with that.
But because Rogers has failed to achieve any of his big-money salary escalators based on playing time and/or statistical performance, his salary is only $757,917 for 2006. So it makes little sense financially to run him out the door.
Also, cutting Rogers after June 1 would push $6.5 million or so of dead money into 2007.
In our view, we don't think that the Lions will be moving too quickly in this regard. Under the guise of giving the guy every chance to turn it around, the Lions likely will hold Rogers into training camp and the preseason. But the real motivation could be to ensure that Rogers doesn't land with another team sufficiently early in the offseason to become fully acclimated to his new squad's offensive attack.
Indeed, the only thing worse than declaring yet another top-five pick a complete bust would be to give him a chance to finally blossom elsewhere.
