Rogers Ready to Move On

Carlos Rogers: "It would be fun to play against the Redskins twice a year." - Hogs Haven

[freddyg12]

this is really unfortunate; both that he feels unappreciated & ready to move & that the writer says skins fans are pissed at him for "3 years of abysmal play." I appreciate that he's a tough lock-down corner who can really stay w/some great recievers. I wish a new deal w/him could be done, but whenever a guy is looking solely at his market value (don't know that he is, but sounds kinda like it) that usually means leaving to get it.

He's been good overall for us but at the same time has always had some relationship problems w/the coaches. Always sounded like he could be difficult to coach.

Hey Carlos, the lockout doesn't mean that you are free to badmouth your team and talk like you aren't part of it.

What a tool...let him go already.

It wouldn't scare me to have him play for the Cowboys or Eagles. At least you wouldn't have to worry about turnovers on his side of the field.

[Ruhskins]

I think it is a bit too much to say that his play was abysmal. Personally I felt frustrated with Rogers' play. If he had actually caught a couple of those balls that went his way, he'd be a top CB in the league. I think there's def a market for CBs for him, after Nnamdi of course.

I think Carlos is a solid corner that's been treated somewhat unfair by the Redskins. Like the Jason Campbell situation, it's just time for both sides to move on. I think the Redskins low balled him last year when they could've done the right thing and give the guy a much deserved raise.

Good riddance. One of the most frustrating Redskin players of all time.

[CultBrennan59]

He was good, but couldn't catch anything. I'm fine with him leaving. Plus I'd rather have a good proven corner like Ike Taylor come here than Los.


(sidenote; just saw Ike on Rome is burning, and the guy talks like his tongue got cut off.)

[Longtimefan]

If he feels he can get a better deal elsewhere...good for him. Unfortunately, the people he's talking too are not the one's that's going to pay him.

I agree with Ruhskins and Skinfan69, Carlos Rogers has been mistreated by the less knowledgeable fans and media. To say he is abysmal is wrong.
Carlos has played on some really terrible Redskins teams that had a terrible offense and no defensive line. Our run stopping last year was a joke. But Carlos drops a couple of INT's and he is the bad guy.
Carlos is an athletic NFL cover corner. They do not grow on trees and there aren't that many CB's out there as good as him at covering a top NFL WR. The dropeed int's is over blown considering how good the rest of his game is.
That would be like rating DE's and LB's solely on sacks. Oh wait they already do that. That is a mistake.

I've brought it up several times here, and it's mentioned in this article as well. What is driving this as much as anything else is the fact that Rogers is beyond broke. Well, he was at least. I think he's in a bit of better shape now, but he is really looking for the money above all else.

Regardless of the reason, disappointing to be sure. Certainly not good form old man.......

[Son Of Man]

Ass Monkey. Never been a fan. Hated the 2005 draft, even while I was watching it.

[Alvin Walton]

Darell Green, he aint.

[SmootSmack]

I don't think the fact that he simply couldn't catch interceptions should just be dismissed. He is a very good corner, but he wants to be paid like a great one. Great ones are game changers, never felt Los was one

[Hog1]

Los is frequently in position to make great plays, but....then his stone hands drop the ball.
Ergo...good not great.
