]]> Jay Glazer has reported that the Redskins have reached out to Shaun Rogers, who was recently cut by the Cleveland Browns.

Let’s look at the Pros and Cons of this potentially happening.

Pros:

  • He is 6’4″, 350 lbs and can play 3-4 NT or end
  • Rogers is a incredibly talented (and huge)  individual when he is motivated and healthy
  • Ma’ake Kemoeatu stunk last year, Rogers would provide an immediate upgrade
  • He was a Pro-Bowler as recently as 2008, as a NT (3 Pro-Bowls overall)
  • Last July, Rogers was commended for reporting a drunk driver

Cons:

  • He will be 32 March 12
  • He’s not healthy (On IR for a broken leg in 2009, only started 1 game last year with nagging hip and ankle injuries)
  • His production is waning.  His first year in Cleveland he had 76 tackles and 4.5 sacks, in 2009 he had 36 tackles and 2 sacks in 11 games, and in 2010 he only had 17 tackles and 2 sacks.   (In case you were wondering, Kemoeatu had 29 tackles and 0 sacks in 14 games for the Skins)
  • He’s got off the field issues (2007 accusation of sexual assault and last spring was arrested for CARRYING A GUN INTO AN AIRPORT)

What should the Redskins do with Albert Haynesworth?   This weekend’s loss to the Ravens was not even the topic of discussion regarding this team.  Haynesworth’s post-game comments about Shanahan, his “condition”, and his treatment took centerstage on what has become the circus of the off-season.

More after the jump…

@Adam_Schefter: Redskins reached agreement with former Jets nose tackle Howard Green on a one-year contract.

ProFootballTalk.com further writes:

The signing of Green, who played in 12 games for the Jets last year, could turn out to be a bigger story than meets the eye if it makes the Redskins feel like they have more leverage in dealing with (and possibly trading) defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

Green is obviously nowhere near the impact player that Haynesworth is, but Green will be much less expensive than Haynesworth and much more willing to buy into the role of nose tackle in Haslett’s 3-4 defense than Haynesworth.
