Rogers is awful. I will be very surprised if NE signs him.

I agree rather have a rookie than him

In case you haven't noticed, we have a tendency to bring alot of "awful" receivers in here. This guy is at least worth a chance considering the state of our WRs now.

be a a little more explanitive with your posts..how is he horrible? Because his seasons have been cut short by collarbone injuries? He was the next Randy Moss coming into NFL but he broke collarbone first 2 seasons i believe. Hes been in doghouse of Marinelli along with Mike Williams and in the last preseason game..he was supposed to play a lot but ended up playing 1 quarter and had 1 ball thrown his way which he caught. I would take a shot at him.

his rookie season..played 5 games and had 243 yards. if he played the full season(by not getting hurt) he would of been on pace for 700-800 yards AS A ROOKIE. thats pretty good and 3 TDs in 5 games

They should definitely bring this guy in and see if he can work out. We need receivers guys, let's get real.

NEVER hurts to bring in ANYONE for a tryout.

Given that our #5 WR is looking like John Stone (or the equivalent), I'd definitely sign him, stash him as the #5 guy and see how things work out. He actually showed up in Detroit in good shape this year so he seems to at least be headed in the right direction even if he's not there yet.

At this time of year it does. It isn't like it's training camp anymore. If we bring him in it will be as one of the 53. You want him for the year or not?

Humm let's see this guy is a druggie that is another infraction away from a suspension, is always hurt, has been in the team's doghouse since he was drafted, and was cut even though he was a high pick... how about I'm not that desperate yet. No thanks.

Adding Rogers to the Pats is equivalent to dating a snaggly tooth, vd ridden, ex-hooker who gives handjobs for crack just because you haven't had a date in 6 months. There really are better options out there!
