The Rocky Mountain News is reporting the Lions and Broncos are in "aggressive discussions" for a trade that would send defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to Denver.

That stinks. He would've been a nice addition but then again, I don't know what the Lions are getting in return. This is a bad year for the Fins to be trading picks.
Nice work Deof, doing what a lot of FH vets still haven't grasped by posting this in the correct forum.

Despite his apparent talent (I write 'apparent' as I'm no evaluator of a player's talent and merely believe what I read) I'm not 'that' bothered about missing out on Rogers. He appears to lack motivation and I don't know whether that's something which can be changed or if he's always going to be less than he should as a player.

thank god we stayed away from this guy, if he's on and off the field every 2-3 plays in detroit... in a dome I can just imagine how he would have been here in the heat and humidity... That and I'm assuming Denver gave up quite a bit to get him which was also something we can not afford to do

Wonder if Denver needs a DE.

Rogers to Denver rumours are premature

Contrary to several media reports, a trade that would send Detroit Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to the Denver Broncos is not imminent.
While it's true the Broncos have talked to the Lions about a possible trade, the Broncos are just one of several teams involved in those discussions. A source close to the team said the Lions will continue to negotiate up until Friday, the first official day a trade can be transacted. If the Lions don't get the compensation they're looking for, they'll keep Rogers on the roster. The Lions are seeking at least a second- or third-round draft pick as compensation.

so its apparently not quite a done deal yet... i still think it will be. id bet only for a 3rd though. Id be shocked if somebody gives up a 2nd rounder for that slob

I doubt somebody of his attitude would be motivated to play for a team that just went 1-15. Keep him away.

and dont worry Detroit, Matt Millen will come out of this trade with a brand new WR for the Lions.
