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.



Maybe we can land him after all @[email protected]

It could work. Hed come cheaper than Haynesworth(which is way too expensive and Im glad teh Broncos arent going after him) and hes a pretty big guy. The only problem is that he most likely wouldnt be able to play every down.

What's his 40 time?

What's his 40 time?

5.28 in 2001. Almost a decade later, its probably around 10.28 LOL

Shaun Rogers would be awesome.

WHAT???????

Go after him??????

Remember the Cleveland game? He's a fat attitude, takes plays off and every year wants a bigger contract. That is why Detroit traded him because of his bad attitude and selfishness. Now one year in Cleveland and he's pulling the same BS. No way do I want him poisoning the Broncos clubhouse with his me first attitude.

No..no no no no no. No. Absolutely not.

There goes those people with the ''cancer to the locker Room'' talk....


Go see the sun or the moon, my god.

"Some of Rogers' feelings stem back to two offseason incidents in which he believes Mangini disrespected him. The first time, Mangini walked into the Browns' training room and failed to say hello to Rogers. The next time, at a public charity function in which both men were in the green room, neither said hello to the other, and Mangini later said he didn't know Rogers was there."

He wants out because Mangini didn't go out of his way to say "Hi" to him. Do you honestly want a player that will want traded just because the Head Coach wasn't there at his beck and call?

[Chillez]

I would say NO thanks....

I call B.S. on Mangini!!!!! There is no way you are in a room with a man that is 6 foot 5 360 lbs and not know he is there.

So Rogers has a legitimate reason to leave the team, since after all the Head Coach did not go out of hsi way to say hello to him in a crowded room? Utterly ridiculous. He wants more money now since Haynesworth is looking to get a big deal in free agency and he is jealous. So, he wants to go back out into the market and get even more money than he is currently signed for and this is just a smoke screen that he invented in order to accomplish that end. He is a greedy worm that does not deserve to play in the NFL.

All i know is that Rogers was the best thing the Browns had on D last season, 76 tackles and 4.5 sacks out of the DT spot aint bad, id take him if he became a FA.

So would I. It would mean that we could avoid Raji (if he was available) and trade down (perhaps with Philly) to get an extra 2nd round pick.

2010's draft is loaded with star DT talent, so we could groom a replacement for Shaun when that happens.

Jarron Gilbert + Sean Smith + ... hell maybe even Ron Brace, would be nice if that was possible... too bad they're all shooting up the draft boards.
