But we should be bringing in Kenyon Coleman, too. He is a more likely future contributor.

Would be a wise pickup.

He's pretty much just Vonnie Holliday, but yeah, Holliday was one of our better DLinemen last yaer.

No, that makes too much sense.

Rogers doesn't have a fine ROD.

No! Too old and too broken.

I'm not sure it's about just getting younger. I think it's more about getting better quality players in. Our OL and DL has been hogwash for years. Younger almost naturally means healthier but as we can see it didn't help out the WR's when the team drafted Kelly.

If the dude is healthy, and can share the duties say with Bryant for a year or two since AH most likely will be gone and Kemo didn't live up to his billing then I'd say get him. Then either next yr or the yr after the team can go after a NT when there might be one worth going after. I keep hearing how this yrs draft really doesn't have a bonified NT to be worth reaching for and basically they are not NT's and would have to be converted.

Sandtrap,

And did the judge give him permission to leave the state of Ohio? There is a little matter of Rogers carrying a loaded handgun through security at Clevelands Int'l Airport.

I'm betting the judge incorporated that he could leave the state for work purposes and most likely installed the wording that he would have to notify his probation officer prior to leaving. As long as he does those things he's safe. If he gets a new job in a new state I'm sure he can transfer his probation to whereever he goes.

BHA...I never thought I would hear you say anything remotely close to keeping AH around. :cool-smil

[CultBrennan59]

Yes lets just sign Shaun Rogers to a contract, thats the missing piece we need to this team! That'll put us in the super bowl! (being completely sarcastic and a smart-ass btw)

[SkinzWin]

No one here is going to sit here and tell me Kemo is better than Shaun Rodgers. That being said, sign him. He will have a small contract that won't matter if he doesn't have anything left. To all the people saying he is old, washed up, this isn't helping us get younger, this isn't the way to rebuild a team.... We have too many holes to fill in one offseason. He won't be a long term solution, just a stop gap. Get the sand out of your vajayjays.

Funny how you never hear stuff like this on the sports outlets...

LOL, well i still think he's a bum, but he's dirt cheap to keep around at this point and if we get rogers, we'll no longer even have a need to try and force him to do something he doesnt want to do. As far as i'm concerned, if AH doesnt come back at this point, i'll be because of shanahan's ego. No other team will offer us any amount of compensation that would make moving him worthwhile.

I agree...and I think the compensation issue is the only thing that's keeping him around.

I just hope we save cap room to sign Herchel Walker......

This would be the classic Snyder move. Throwing money at a problem whether there is an answer or not.
