I don't blame him for turning down the money. They guy is financially secure. Would be funny if the Saint's didn't even have a winning season next year though.

They will get it when they see his practice habits...maybe thats why he turned down the extra money. I can see it now "But I turned down the extra money, you have to let me sit three out of four plays..."

He went down there for the chow, nothing more.

i love the pickup. he fills our biggest need and is clearly still talented
you guys dont like him because he sits every couple plays but the plays he is in he was always going hard and having success

And they do have some of the greatest chow I have ever had down there, so maybe you can't blame him?

For what he was contributing to the Browns he was being way overpaid. That is why the Browns released him, pure and simple. I don't think it had anything to do with him taking off plays or his attitude or anything else.

I'd like to contest that statement.

ive heard several reports both from the media and from the coaches that give different reasons for his release
i dont really care why he was cut because ive seen him play. the saints have a history(although short) of turning "trouble makers" into team players. guys like jeremy shockey, jonathan vilma, and carl nicks all had character concerns but we brought them in and they turned into leaders
rogers doesnt have any character issues as far as im concerned and his play speaks for itself.
the browns may not have needed a DT that missed a couple plays every few series but the saints rotate a lot of different personel packages in on defense and our D coordinator will definitly find a place for the big dude
he fits in both the 4-3 and the 3-4 and we run a very healthy dose of both of them

It was value for the price paid. Add in the Browns need to get younger just about everywhere on the defensive front seven, guy wouldn't fit in the long term plans. Rodgers was due a contract in the Haloti Ngata and John Abraham range, and he was playing like a scrub. Glad you think 14 tackles and 2 sacks is worth $7 million- I don't. That was down from 60 or so tackles in his pro bowl years. If he returns to that form- great- the Saints got a bargain.

his stats were down because of injuries. im well aware of his history as a brownie
however, if you are going to complain about stats for a DT then you are looking at the wrong place. stats tell very little about what DTs are capable of....especially a nose tackle in the 3-4 defense
like i said, i understand the money situation. he was a rotational player getting paid pro bowl contract money. but the saints have talent on the dline. the browns really didnt so allowing shaun rogers to play next to some talent will do him worlds of good and he has mentioned several times on his twitter account that hes excited to play for new orleans so im not worried at all about his work ethic that you guys have complained about so much

Well, you have to remember, the Saints are not paying him what the Browns were going to have to to keep him. Like someone said, he was due a 7 mill. salary. He is not a 7 mill. player. Maybe a 1 or 2 mill. For 1 or 2 mill. the Browns may have been able to use him...or, maybe, even at that they still may have wanted to clean house. New HC, DC etc. They may have wanted to started fresh. Browns have Rubin for his position. I am sure they want some younger, fresher bodies on that front line.

Apples to apples STATS Rubin had 82 combined tackles to Rodgers 17, same # of sacks- 2, 16 games to 15- playing next to the same scrubs. Your stat card just got trumped, ditto, "he'll play so much better on the great Saints D-line". Now if I gave you the choice either\or, you still going to take Rodgers? I doubt it.
PS Rodgers was real happy to be leaving Detroit and playing for the Browns too- you can look it up. His work ethic consists of eating mass quantities of broasted chicken. Get him down in Nawlins, and pray he doesn't bloat to 400 pounds of gumbo. And you wonder why he was hurt all season? The human body wasn't designed to carry all that weight.

New Orleans is the home of Popeye's Chicken. Maybe Rogers can pick up a franchise while he is there.

because rubin played more....that has nothing to do with anything. numbers still dont mean anything for d tackles. its common sense....their roles consist of a lot more than just getting numbers

thats what any player says when they change teams. however, heckert and he himself have said that he would rather play for a winner. then, he went and actually did that. took less money to play for us because we are good.
