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.

Especially if you mean lazy and unmotivated.

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.
