Yes, I think that Rogers should be demoted to backup, made into a nickel back, or traded. We wouldn't get a high draft choice for him I wouldn't think.

We will hopefully sign Nate Clements, though I doubt that is any kind of a certainty. Springs is someone we can't rely on in terms of his health, but he is too good to give up on either. So I would start Springs again next year and perhaps make Rogers the backup to Springs.

Rogers could get turned around eventually if he listens. But how can he go to defensive meetings and come away with the conclusion that he is having a Pro Bowl year (once you take all the INTs he missed out of the picture)? Isn't there anyone giving him a dose of realism? Is he being coddled by the defensive coaches? It sure sounds likely.
