Shaun Rogers asks out of Cleveland

Post #1 » by **HMFFL** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 4:32 am

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that All-Pro NT Shaun Rogers has grown so "disenchanted" with the new Browns regime that he's asked the team to not exercise his $6 million March option bonus.
The Browns deny Rogers demanded his release, but failing to pick up the bonus would make him a free agent. It would also cause Cleveland a $9.8 million cap hit. Eric Mangini has reportedly reached out to Rogers in hopes of changing his mind. The coach did the same in New York with Laveranues Coles, but clearly the Mangini-Kokonis era has gotten off to a rotten start.

Just when Rogers finally starts getting a more positive image, he pulls this crap. I know he is ticked that the Browns fired the PR lady who really connected with him and helped him out (he paid for her to spend Pro Bowl week in Hawaii, and he was a big Romeo Crennel guy, but come on already.

If this is true, and I suspect there's a lot of fire to this smoke, then they should get rid of him ASAP. I'm going to talk to some Browns people and find out more, but knowing what they are trying to do they probably feel the same way. And I say that as a very big Shaun Rogers fan--he's the best NT in the game when he's in shape and motivated.

The Bears will take him.
