Good to hear. He's not a pro bowl player anymore but still a good player that fills a need. Also maybe he finds the fountain of HGH I mean youth somewhere.

Wonder what he is getting paid

Rogers' deal is worth $4 million, a league source told ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Damn. More than I expected. Would have preferred a 2nd year with a decent sized roster bonus so that, if he plays well, we could at least keep him one more season. One year "show me" contracts aren't usually worth 2/3rds the value of the contract they were cut for.

I'd imagine a lot of that is incentives.

I read a while back that he didn't like being on bad teams his whole career. I'd be willing to bet he has a great season next year being that he has something to play for.

we should still address the DT position in the draft if a guy who we think can be a long term prospect falls to us. this is about constantly building and a rotation of guys will only make rogers and ellis better and more rested.....

r1 justin houston de
r2 marvin austin dt
r3 randall cobb wr/kr
r3 mcdaniel ss


de smith, brown, houston, charleston, galette
dt ellis, rogers, austin, wilkerson
lb vilma, casillas, ajhawk, mitchell, dunbar
cb greer, porter, robinson, torrence,
ss jenkins, harper, mcdaniel, priolieu


keeping 9 dl or 9 db might not be possible but since jenkins is so versatile that may give us some wiggle and we keep only 8 dbs.

with a 7th rouder and the compensatory 5th pick that we are hopefully receiving, we should add depth at OL, rb, or cb. Normally I wouldn't predict a wr like cobb so early but with his polished skillset and versatility and payton's admission of a kr need, I can see that being taken before a rb. we can plug a lot of guys at rb, but devery and meachem showed you can't do the same for kr.

Shaun Rogers turned down chance to make roughly $6M elsewhere to sign with Saints for about $4M. Wants to be there.

frick yeah! At worst he'll be a decent clogger, but this guy really still has some good years left and I think we're a RE (and moving Smith to LE) away from having a potentially disruptive front four.


totally agree with this. I also like the one year deal. Another good move by this front office. I won't say it'll be overly disruptive, but it's an improvement.

would be nice, but seeing as though depth at that position seems to always be an issue, don't count on it.
