Rogers tendered-whines about it

[over the mountain]

carlos is our best corner imo. he had a great year 2 years ago, this past year it seems no one was happy with what blache was doing.

carlos said all they did was man and never changed. you play enough man to man, any corner is going to get beat if the qb has time.

We cannot let the players call the shots. If he wants to go, fine, but it needs to be on our terms. Our General Manager will let him go when it suits us, not when it suits him.

Dunta Robinson will be a lock to be a new Redskins by March 5, 12:01 AM

If Dunta Robinson signs with us, there's a good chance we'll get some offers for Rogers from teams who need a CB. There simply won't be anyone else out there worth looking at in the free agent market and it appears to be a very weak draft for CBs. I think if someone offers us a 4th, we'd take it.

Yeah F what he wants... we have to make moves that make the most sense for the team.

I'm with you there. I also think with such a weak free agent class, we may be able to get a late 2nd or early 3rd for Los.

That's what i'd be hoping for, although the draft is very deep (well, at pretty much every position but CB, WR, and QB), so that may make teams somewhat reluctant to give up picks. i would be thrilled if we unloaded him for a high 3rd or a starting-caliber offensive guard or tackle.

I found it rather amusing he would make a statement like that. Obviously he does not know the history of the position he plays. Man to man, bump and run was a CB's game until the rules changed. His game would be obsolete if he were playing during the time when CB's were football players as opposed to just being cover guys. Zone defenses were virtually unheard until the forward pass became such a formidable weapon. It's only natural if you can't cover consistently in man to man you would prefer to play zone.

Carlos may just be doing what his agent is telling him. I guarantee if he hit the open market he would make more than 1.5 million this year. They probably feel like creating a stir makes it more likely that he gets let go.

I am curious to see how the new leadership handles this.

i hope so, robinson is younger/more talented. get carlos "crybaby" rogers outta here (on our terms of course).

[Player_HTTR]

Correct me if I am wrong here. But Brick Mittens looked like he was playing zone 90% of the time especially when he got burnt. Either he is confused or gives up as soon as the WR has a step on him. When he is burned its always really bad like somone else should have been picking up the coverage.

I hope we can get at least a third for him, but I just don't think he has shown enough to get that. You got benched cause you stunk it up and then want a payday? Bye #22.

Well I would like Robinson, but seems like he has not been a happy team player in Houston either.

The reality is that its unlikely anyone will give us anything for Rogers,or any of our other restricted free agents. only a handful of RFAs move every year, and the ones that do are generally studs. Why would anyone want to give up a draft pick for a mediocre-to-above average player that is only under contract for one more year? RFAs only move when they're solid, proven players and the team is willing to give them a new, long-term contract upon signing them.

Realistically, Jason Campbell is the player most likely to move. He's done more good in the league than Rogers and would likely be open to signing a 3-year deal with a new team if it garaunteed him a starting job.

I heard on the NFLN last night that they think there will be a couple of trades for the RFAs due to the fact that the UFA talent is not that great. Now a 1st or 2nd is def not possible, but anything beneath that, I would say that it may be.
