I wouldn't. The argument for trading Rogers is best supported by his age relative to corners on the open market (older than Bodden, roughly same age as Buchanon..who was drafted three years before), but Sproles is a 27 year old RB, which puts him at roughly the same distance from "the end" as Rogers.

So once it's established that getting Sproles and giving up Rogers isn't really an upgrade (it at least moves some defensive talent to the offensive end), the rest of the trade is obvious enough. I would be interested if San Diego could offer us their late third rounder, and take our fifth off our hands.
