Shaun Rogers a Possibility?

Also from PFT is a story on how Detroit does not plan on keeping DT Shaun Rogers around. A guy with his talent probably would have considerable value on the trade market, so I would rule out the Dolphins as a potential destination. We need all the picks we can get.

However, were he to be released, his addition to the defensive line would be huge for this team. I mean huge. It would allow us to have some flexibility in the draft and maybe dangle Dorsey to another team with a top 5 pick. It also would give us considerable leverage if DT John Henderson is made available through free agency as well.

Shaun is an inconsistent player, but DT/NT is a huge need on this team and I'm pretty sure a Sparano/Parcells combination could get him to get his act together. Bill has stated he doesn't want "bad character" guys, but I'm not entirely sure Shaun is one of them and sometimes you just have to roll the dice if you want to win some games. A team of choir boys rarely wins anything in sports.
