Kowalski goes on to say, "Bill Parcells absolutely loves Shaun Rogers. The last few years we've talked to him on the conference calls before the Lions played the Cowboys, he has just gushed about the guy. Now obviously there's some strikes against Rogers. He's been overweight, he's had knee problems and the strike for the drug thing, but all it takes is one guy to say 'I can turn this guy around. What a force he's going to be. He's the missing piece to our defense.' That's what you really need."

Kowalski further explains the Lions are not looking for draft picks in return for Rogers. They want a proven NFL player who can step in and fill one of team's many defensive holes.

I hope we don't end up overpaying for this guy if we go after him. They seem to want a defensive player....
 
if we can get him for a fair price im all for it

what does this have to do with us then?
 
Who on our defense do you think they would trade for????

Obviously, I would not trade any of the following defensive players for Rogers:

JT
Joey Porter
J. Allen
W. Allen

Anybody else I would assume could be fair game....I'm not sure where I stand w/Zach Thomas. I love Zach, but his age and injuries have me concerned. Not sure I would trade him for Rogers.

With the most recent arrest of Roth and Bill Parcells not wanting troubled players, I guess we could trade Roth for Rogers....then maybe replace Roth with Marcus Spears???
 
nobody is gonna trade for Zach

I would trade JT for Rogers
 
If we get Rogers, we better get another DT because Rogers is good for maybe less than half the defensive snaps. I wouldn't offer anything more than a 7th or one of our backup players for him.

I'm good with Roth for Rogers, even if I think Matt would be good depth at DE. What about offering up Crowder? I just don't think we'd lose much by drafting a guy to replace Channing.

Of course, there are enough red flags with shaun that you need to be sure he can be motivated to play hard.
 
Rogers for JT straight up would tickle me pink.

That said, I think we may be able to wait the Lions out on this one as they may just release him ala us and the Rams last year with Randy McMichael.

I wouldn't...I don't think Rogers has that much to offer as he is overly fat. I could maybe see us trading Zach or JT for a 1st/2nd round pick, but not for a heavy guy who is a big risk. :shakeno:

You would trade our most emblematic and skilled player, last season`s DMVP, Walter Payton award, who has still a couple more dominating seasons in his tank, for a player who does not have the best attitude, and has been criticized for taking plays off (a gamble). :shakeno:
 
I would give him incentives to stop being fat

the guaranteed money he got was from the Lions, so we can now implement our own carrots-on-the-stick.

I don't think it'll work. Rogers just doesn't have the motivation either way. Definitely not worth JT. And you can be sure Rogers will want guaranteed money or he won't play.
 
I forgot about Holliday

how about Holliday and Moses for Rogers?
