Fri, 11 Feb 2011 03:11:04 +0000

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)
