Thread: Shaun Rogers is being released!!!!

The Cleveland Browns have informed defensive lineman Shaun Rogers he is being released, according to a league source.

Rogers played well under former coordinator Rob Ryan, but the Browns are shifting from his scheme. Rogers, 31, has had off-field issues and was set to count $7.7 million against the salary cap.

The 10-year NFL veteran has the ability to perform at an elite level but has struggled with consistency. He was to earn a $5.5 million base with a $500,000 roster bonus and $100,000 workout bonus.

The Browns also terminated the contracts of five other players: linebackers Eric Barton and David Bowens, defensive linemen Kenyon Coleman, tight end Robert Royal and offensive lineman John St. Clair.

Big Baby = J-Wall. We already have a highly-paid, past his prime NT on the roster.

No thanks. No more washed up has-beens on the downside of their career. Build D-line through the DRAFT!

I remember that one year that everyone on our DL was an ex cleveland brown.

You mean 2005 when we went to the AFC Championship Game?

Yeah, that sucked.

Rogers would more than likely be an improvement over Jamal Williams on the field but his off field issue might cause me to hesitate.

J-Wall played well in the last half of the season. Why should we bring in a grade A knuckle head to replace him? He won't produce anymore than J-Wall.
