So, if true, what do you all think of brining in the former first round pick? Would he have a shot of making the team?

Access Vikings: » Blog Archive » Report: Vikings to look at Rogers

We’re checking on this one because it seems like a long shot but the Saginaw (Mich.) News reported Sunday that former Detroit Lions receiver Charles Rogers is going to workout for the Vikings. Actually, that came from Rogers’ former high school coach Don Durrett.

“He’s had a couple workouts with some teams and has a workout with the Minnesota Vikings,” Durrett said. “He’s getting caught up [with playing in the NFL again]. I tell him to play where he can play and enjoy it. People get caught up on where the best spot for him is.”

Durrett’s comment come after Rogers made a verbal agreement to play with Montreal of the CFL but never signed his contract and did not go to training camp with the team.

Rogers was the second pick of the 2003 draft and ended up being released by the Lions in 2006.

Worth a shot, although at this point, I expect very little out of Rogers.

Yeah, I think he is pretty much washed up, but then again you never know. He is worth a shot IMO.

Well looks like that was short lived.

Did some checking and all indications are the Vikings will not be taking a look at former Detroit Lions receiver Charles Rogers. I’m leaving the previous blog up because there was a report out there that we had acknowledged. Looks like Rogers’ high school coach was incorrect about where his former star player will be going next to try to revive his career.
