Give me Rogers over AH, especially since he will cost a fraction of AH. And at least Rogers won't pout about playing the nose.

Can't fill all our needs in the draft alone, like it or not we need to sign free agents.

Ditto. I find it funny how no matter who's name is brought up at some point someone will inherently find something to say negatively about the player of interest. Since AH most likely won't be here, but he is hopefully the team can find a way to keep him on the field, it will be nice to have a player willing to play NT until we can either get Bryant playing dominantly or find someone else in the yrs to come. Maybe they can look to fill other needed spots now and maybe AH and Shanahan work out some sort of agreement and our DL is a monster next yr. <- I doubt it happens though, but AH could play a couple plays then Rogers could relieve AH for a couple of plays and visa versa.

Actually, AH is pretty cheap at this point. I say we sign Rogers, make AH a full-time DE, and be happy.

And since Rogers shares Haynesworth's propensity for taking plays off, they can take turns playing hard when they're on the field together. No thanks.

No, that makes too much sense.

Rogers doesn't have a fine ROD.

BHA...I never thought I would hear you say anything remotely close to keeping AH around. :cool-smil

LOL, well i still think he's a bum, but he's dirt cheap to keep around at this point and if we get rogers, we'll no longer even have a need to try and force him to do something he doesnt want to do. As far as i'm concerned, if AH doesnt come back at this point, i'll be because of shanahan's ego. No other team will offer us any amount of compensation that would make moving him worthwhile.

I agree...and I think the compensation issue is the only thing that's keeping him around.

To me it makes no sense to sign older vets on a team that isn't good and needs to get younger. It has nothing to do with the money. He makes sense for a team like Houston or maybe even Dallas. I'd just sign free agents that don't get drafted and see who sticks.

I'm not sure it's about just getting younger. I think it's more about getting better quality players in. Our OL and DL has been hogwash for years. Younger almost naturally means healthier but as we can see it didn't help out the WR's when the team drafted Kelly.

If the dude is healthy, and can share the duties say with Bryant for a year or two since AH most likely will be gone and Kemo didn't live up to his billing then I'd say get him. Then either next yr or the yr after the team can go after a NT when there might be one worth going after. I keep hearing how this yrs draft really doesn't have a bonified NT to be worth reaching for and basically they are not NT's and would have to be converted.

But the guy isn't any good. If he was Detroit, and Cleveland would've kept him around. To me this is just more band aid football when we need surgery.

But you can't just look at it as this team needs "one surgery". It actually needs several surgeries and the doctor has to decide which ones can be held off for another day and which ones need immediate attention. It's like a client who can't afford all the surgeries at once. The doctor will pick the once that need fixed immediately and hope to resolve the rest at a later date.

No! Too old and too broken.
