Since defensive tackle Shaun Rogers has been released by the Browns, there is good reason to speculate whether or not the Dallas Cowboys will pursue him.

The Cowboys new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan coached Rogers in Cleveland for the past two seasons and raved about his talent in the past.
Ryan said the following during the summer of 2009,

“He is a tremendous physical specimen. He is so athletic for a big man. I’ve been around the best in football. I’ve been around Warren Sapp in college. I coached Jamal Williams and Kevin Williams, a couple of decent All-Pro defensive tackles. Shaun Rogers is tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. Any system that he plays in, he is going to be dominant.”

With Ryan having good things to say about Rogers and the idea that the Cowboys might move current nose tackle Jay Ratliff to defensive end, it may make the acquisition of Rogers a no brainer.

The only problem right now is Rogers latest down fall. He has had trouble in the past of playing up to his potential and right now at the age of 31, he isn’t getting any younger.

Also Rogers’ health must be a concern since he has been battling hip and ankle injuries over the past couple of seasons.
