[CBFF] ST: Watts enters picture at receiver

[Steve Behrens]

After a little digging... you're right...


LITTLE INTEREST IN ROGERS

While Koren Robinson is getting a look-see in Green Bay, receiver Charles
Rogers -- the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft -- has been ignored since

his Saturday release.

Part of the problem with Rogers is that he's one strike away from a one-year

banishment from the league.  He was suspended four games in 2005 for
violation of the substance abuse policy.

The other problem is that Rogers is represented by agent Kevin Poston, who
has a reputation for overpricing his clients.  In this case, teams likely
presume that Poston would never accept a one-year deal for the minimum
salary.

Rogers' best chance of landing with a new team would be to sign in the
offseason and prove himself throughout the conditioning program and minicamp

sessions.  If he can show that he is willing to take football more seriously

than he has in the past, he might get a chance to stick with a new team.

Still, no one will pay this guy anything more than the minimum until he can
show that he is capable of performing.  If we were representing Rogers, we'd

try to place him on a short-term basis with a team that has a clear need at
the position -- the Patriots, the Eagles, the Packers, the Vikings, or the
49ers.
