Carlos Rogers talks smack on Shawn Springs?

I agree.......It's not his place to discuss terms of another player's contract with the media. Players contracts, and their terms should be left to the FO. Whether he's right or wrong is a non issue, it's just that some things are better left unsaid.

Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Maybe he's jealous cause SS can play man to man bump and run coverage! Worry about your damn self Rogers. Damn, just what we need. Some T.O. shit!

i'm not quite understanding why some of you guys are getting so upset with rogers. all he did was say pretty much the same thing that springs had already said to the media. springs had already made it clear that his return to washington was in question because of his cap number.

Carlos's article and AA article is a classic example of finger pointing which maybe should be expected from one of the worst defensive backfield's play in NFL history by 2 of the worst performers in that backfield

Kenny Wright, Mike Rumph and some of the rest should come up with their own little articles for why they can't play DB

Somewhere, Walt Harris is laughing his ass off.

I don't really have a problem with Rogers speaking the truth. Especially since the person he's talking about has no problem involving himself in others players business ALL the time. Springs commented on the Arrington situation repeatedly last season and he began calling out individual players early this season, while he was still on the sideline. I think Rogers went easy on him.

The truth hurts. Probaboly shouldnt have said it, but I'm not mad at him for saying it. It's pretty much common knowledge; so I dont think he meant to say "we need to get this guy out of here".

[dgack]

The only thing wrong with what he said was that he didn't say, "and we really need him back next year, because look at how we did when he was out of the lineup".

Just because Carlos played like ass this year doesn't change the facts about Springs' contract and situation as he explained them. You also can't tell from that text what his tone or context was in saying that.

I also didn't like the shot at getting paid millions and only playing a few games. Carlos doesn't have any right to be speaking about team mates in any way. He is only a 2nd year guy and got beat more than a drum at a montley crew concert. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

Irks me a little but it's not like he really talked any smack. It could be interpreted that he meant that anybody outside of a perenial pro-bowler in his prime needs to restructure when their cap num gets to a certain point. I would bet it is even talked about casually amongst the players. Not much to see here to me.

[mooby]

Talking smack would be like Carlos saying Springs is an injured overrated corner that is paid much more than he's worth, and that Carlos can handle the #1 job anyways. I don't really look at it as smack talk, he's just pointing out the obvious. That said it's gonna make him look bad because he's not the one that should be worrying about it.

What a punk! You don't talk about other people contracts to the media. His sorry ass should worry about why he sucks so bad...... and we could have had Shawn Merriman.

Yeah, just what we need. A guy who put up monster numbers while taking something that got him suspended for four games in violation of the steroid policy.

But to stay on topic, this is not something a team player should be saying about a teammate. Rogers needs to learn to keep his mouth shut in the media. I don't think it's a big issue, but still.
