This would be a good thing. Rogers was overweight and out of shape. He was said to be 30 pounds over. His production declined all year.

Rogers is a very good player with a lot of character flaws.

Good to see the Lions finally cutting down the chaff. Time to start dumping guys like this and get some motivated hard-workers on the roster.

To me, this is another reason why the Lions will never be a winner. Not that they are cutting dead weight, but because they decided to trade or release. What team is going to trade for a player they know they can get anyway just by signing him if they wait a little.
