His work habits aren't going to change at this point.

I don't think he'll be a "dominant force" if we sign him. I think he'll be decent, but will be best in a rotation. And it'll fill a seemingly immediate need.

He and Brent would make a good 1-2 rotation, IMO.

I will say, though, that Cleveland is one of those franchises where players, regardless of talent, always seem to struggle. I think it's one of the worst organizations in sports.

With that in mind, perhaps a return to Texas, coming to Dallas - where you can't say we don't have great facilities - and being paired with a quality strength and conditioning coach would turn his career around, or at least help his potential meet his production.

They said that about Leonard Davis and AZ, and he's right back to sucking.

My comments we're speculative in nature, as in, trying to justify why this move might make sense.

In no way was I guaranteeing any of the above would mean a career turnaround for the otherwise underachieving malcontent.

But.. you know, if he does come here and it works out, you heard it here first!

No thanks................

Give Brent a chance and look to the draft for younger options for depth.

When I think of Rogers all I remember is the water buffalo who couldn't stay on the field during Dallas' comeback win over Detroit in 2007'(Witten catch). Looked like he needed a ventilator or an ambulance the whole second half. Seems that last drive he spent the whole drive on one knee on the sidelines wanting to puke and die.

Will Rob Ryan want Shaun Rogers reunion?

By Tim MacMahon


We don’t know whether Rob Ryan wants defensive lineman Shaun Rogers, who was released by the Browns on Wednesday, after coaching him the last two seasons in Cleveland.

But the Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator is on record raving about Rogers’ talent.

"He is a tremendous physical specimen," Ryan said of Rogers in the summer of 2009. “He is so athletic for a big man. I've been around the best in football. I've been around Warren Sapp in college. I coached Jamal Williams and Kevin Williams, a couple of decent All-Pro defensive tackles. . . . Shaun Rogers is tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. Any system that he plays in, he is going to be dominant."

It isn’t too difficult to envision Rogers, a 6-foot-4, 350-pound three-time Pro Bowler, as a fit with Ryan’s new team. The Cowboys might have one of the most disruptive three-man lines in the league with Rogers at nose tackle and Jay Ratliff shifting to defensive end.

If Rogers comes at a reasonable cost, he could be a key part of a quick fix for a defense that fell apart last season, when the Cowboys allowed the second most points in the NFL.

But that’s only if Rogers plays up to his potential. And that was the bad rap University of Texas products get for being spoiled, lazy and unmotivated. (Well, him and a certain receiver the Cowboys gave up a draft bounty to get and gave a $9 million per year contract.)

Rogers, 31, is neither young nor healthy now. He was limited to less than 40 percent of Cleveland’s defensive snaps last season due to hip and ankle injuries.

However, a scout’s reaction when asked about Rogers was to state emphatically that he’s still a force. The idea of adding Rogers wasn’t summarily dismissed by another Valley Rancher.

What really matters is whether Ryan wants to coach Rogers again. We don’t know that. We just know he’ll at least be tempted by the big man’s massive talent.

The fact that he comes from the UT is reason enough to not take him. All of those players from that program come into the league with so much sense of entitlement and underachievement.

You make an interesting point.

I'm not sure if they're underachieving or if it's a case of many over-rating the players that come out of that program.

I shouldn't say all of them, but certainly a majority of them that were 1st round picks.

And if their last name is Willimas... forget about it.

Report: Redskins interested in Shaun Rogers The Redskins have reportedly already "reached out" to free agent DL Shaun Rogers.
Per Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, Rogers is expected to visit the Redskins this week, perhaps as soon as Friday. With Albert Haynesworth as good as gone this offseason, Rogers would be a replacement at nose tackle. Rogers can still get after quarterbacks, but he's no longer a top-notch run stuffer.

Sources close to Shaun Rogers say the Redskins have reached out and he could possibly visit them this week, even as early as tomorrow.

So let's get rid of one lazy, underachieving malcontent, for another but older, lazy, underachieving, malcontent.
