They wouldn't.

IF HE GETS CUT - The only reason Rogers won't play here is because another team will offer him more dough, not because the Pats won't even make contact. If Rogers gets the I-want-to-play-for-a-winner bug after watching the Lions stink, he just might sign here though I still figure someone else waves too much money for him to resist.

So the only reason a guy whose NFL production has been minimal, who has been injury prone, who has had drug issues, who was benched when healthy because of his lack of work ethic, and who reacted to the benching with a Bethel Johnson like "I can't do any more than I am" won't be signed by the Patriots is because we will want him terribly but get outbid? There is no chance the Pats decide he is too much trouble off the field or not good enough on the field to take a shot on?

If we traded a six pack of warm beer to the Lions for Mike Williams I would vomit in my mouth let alone an actual living, breathing human being.

Ok that's a fine list of retreads there... but please no to Rogers. This guy has drug problems and doesn't play even when healthy. Sounds like Sullivan part II. No thanks we already have a reclamation project on the roster.

I'm far from a huge Rogers pimp, but lets not forget at one point Chris Carter & Irving Fryer were headcase castoffs. Sometimes kids just need time to grow up.

I still think Mike Williams will be a player. He was a beast at USC, I saw a lot of him. Yeah, he has attitude problems coming into the league, no doubt exacerbated by Mooch's laissiz-faire (ick, sp) coaching style, but there is no questioning his physical talents. That said, no way the Lions cut bait on him so quickly.

I bet we could trade the lions a 4th or 5th for williams, I mean look at the extra picks we're going to get from trades and compensation for our lost FAs

Well I'm glad you have it on 4 bolded sources. It's honestly anyone's guess. I just don't see them getting rid of their special teams captain when they are already deep at WR. But the main point is that if the Pats are looking for FA WRs, Morey isn't the answer. He's not even really a receiver. I think you can count all the catches he's had in the regular season on one hand.

And for the poster that said K. Johnson is much better than Morgan, wasn't K. Johnso the guy that got released by the Browns midseason? Combine that with little production and you're saying you want that on your team?
