September 2, 200620 yr Lions cut WR Rogers, No. 2 pick in 2003 NFL.com wire reports DETROIT (Sept. 2, 2006) -- Charles Rogers was cut by the Detroit Lions, three years after they drafted the receiver second overall. Rogers' Detroit career ended with only 36 receptions for 440 yards and four touchdowns along with two broken collarbones and a four-game suspension. First-year coach Rod Marinelli was unimpressed by Rogers work ethic and production during training camp, when he was slowed by a sore knee. The new staff also did not have a history with Rogers like team president Matt Millen, who helped draft the former Michigan State star and gave him a $14.2 million signing bonus. source
September 2, 200620 yr Someone will take a flyer on this kid. He's just got too much talent to not have someone take a flyer on him.
September 2, 200620 yr Good thing the Lions have drafted an obscene amount of WR's the past few years :plain
September 2, 200620 yr I would take this kid...... he has the skills to be a player in this league...
September 2, 200620 yr What a waste. I would have put money on him being the best player in that 2003 draft, he was absolutely amazing in college. He had it all.
