ROGERS TRADE OFF
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 8:18 p.m.


The trade between the Lions and the Bengals for defensive tackle Shaun
Rogers is apparently off.

According to Mike O'Hara of the Detroit News, the deal was not
consummated and the Lions will be looking to send Rogers elsewhere.
The two teams had agreed that Rogers would head to the Bengals for a
third-round and a fifth-round pick.

In our view, that's not bad news for the Bengals.  Maybe it means that
someone within the organization raised an alarm about the 2007
allegations against Rogers regarding his conduct in a strip club.
Though he wasn't charged, is that really the kind of guy that the team
should be signing giving its recent history of struggles with
off-field issues?
