Shaun Rogers to become available

[HPF Bob]

League sources say Cleveland NT Shaun Rogers will be released when the NFL year officially ends. Rogers is a former Longhorn and, IIRC, played at Galveston Ball HS. If Wade is going to switch us to a 3-4, he's a nice building block.

Sounds like the perfect fit. He's a big guy with experience and recent success as nose tackle in a 3-4. He's a veteran, so we don't have to worry about a learning curve, like we would with a rookie. And as a bonus, he's from the area, although I hope Kubiak doesn't hold his burnt orange past against him.

6'4'' and 350, 3 pro bowls, 31 years old, a couple dumb incidents in his past, and injured during 2009, didn't fully recover in 2010

I hope he's healthy and we can get him, he'd likely help bigtime for a couple years. Guess he's in town, so maybe Texans are visiting with him.

I wouldn't mind Rogers in our neighborhood. Wonder how much it would take to get him?

Teams are probably going to be offloading some expensive talent while they can before a new CBA is agreed upon. Players cut now really won't have any cap ramifications since there was none for 2010.

A smart team with money to spend would be wise to evaluate their options and pick up some talent... NT isn't a position you throw a rookie into and expect immediate success.
