Carlos Rogers calls out ownership (PFT)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I just hope we can franchise / trade him so he doesn't walk for "nothing." A 3rd round comp pick in 2011 just isnt going to cut it... why are there so many hard feelings between rogers and the management/ownership again? i know it seems they've been down on him for several years now.

I never knew their was hard feelings between him and the FO? He made a general comment which just about anyone who follows the team knows. Its true with any business not just football its starts at the top. Some at the top will say they made mistakes some won't but they know it starts at the top.

I've never heard of anything, just his demotion last year to Hall. Blache was maybe down on him some. He's stepped up this year though.

well i remember the past two years, there have been talks of trading him in the offseason. it just seems theres no love lost between he and coaches/management/ownership. This past week Rogers also indicated he plans to be elsewhere next year, although he acknowledged the skins could keep him here by tagging him.

I think most young players on the roster who are more interested in winning than securing a big pay day would love nothing more than to get the hell out of washington as soon as possible, and i can't blame them. this franchise is an absolute mess. I hate to say this as I may just be overly frustrated right now, but if, after the season, the panthers hire shottenhiemer as GM and Cowher as HC, while snyder retains cerrato and hires another puppet HC, i'm going to be tempted to switch my loyalties to my home-state team. i'd always have a soft-spot for the skins, but the franchise is being dragged into the ground by a lunatic owner who, despite what he may say, cares more about money than he does about winning. I know i'm just one person, but until snyder starts feeling hurt in his wallet, i dont think he'll ever change.
