Rodgers may be lazy, but he seems to create a lot of problems for us. I'll be glad to not have to see him 2x a year.

Cleveland Browns 2011 Draft: Do Roster Cuts Have Influence on Drafting Process?

By Brian Murtaugh (Browns Featured Columnist) on February 10, 2011



Robert Quinn, DE/DT, North Carolina

The Cleveland Browns announced yesterday that the team has cut six veteran players in order to free up cap room and rebuild with an influx of younger talent.

The NFL draft is one of the key ways to get that talent into the organization and with four of the six roster cuts on the defensive side of the ball, it is reasonable to think that defense should be on the mind of the Browns front office.

Shaun Rogers was the most notable name to be sent away from Cleveland throughout the roster cuts and writers seem to wonder how Cleveland will go about replacing him.

The Browns will likely switch to a 4-3 defense in 2011, which leaves the question of who will fill in for the two linebackers and linemen that the Browns lost.

Athyba Rubin is expected to be the man to fill in one of those holes along the defensive line as his emergence in 2010 made the absence of Rogers seem irrelevant.

That leaves three more spots that need filling.

Cleveland owns the sixth overall pick in the draft and even though many speculate that Cleveland will go for a wide receiver or trade down, it is worth noting that some quality defensive talent should still be on the board.

Marcell Dareus is one of those defensive players.

Dareus was one of the most feared linemen in the entire NCAA last season as he recorded five sacks and a solid 30 tackles after missing the first two games and seeing limited playing time.

Dareus could play at any position on the defensive line but may be best suited for defensive end because he is only 303 pounds.

Robert Quinn may also be available for the Browns at No. 6, as the former Tar Heel has received a great amount of public endorsement from former Browns coach, Butch Davis.

The 2011 draft picture for the Browns seems to be getting cloudier by the day, as it is becoming close to impossible to predict what direction the franchise wants to take.

The good news is that Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert led a very good draft process last season and the future of the Browns organization seems to be in good hands.

"I know there are a lot of questions with this guys character but he can still be a game changer and take over a game like a Sapp, Haynesworth, Peppers, Williams, etc. "

No, no, no
He's all but done. He might have some incredible plays, but will NEVER play a complete game and will rarely be interested enough to bother. He's lazy.
He's great for the Skins, but let's stop reaching for garbage on this forum. We're smarter than that here.

Saints land Shaun Rogers

Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2011



With two days remaining before the ability to sign a new deal expires with the labor agreement, veteran defensive tackle Shaun Rogers has a new team.

Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Rogers has agreed to terms with the Saints on a one-year contract.

Rogers was cut by the Browns last month. He has never been to the playoffs; he joins a team that will be favored to make the playoffs in 2011, if not the Super Bowl.

Re: OT: Shaun Rogers among six Browns cuts

Don't understand this- why can a player like Shaun Rogers sign with anyone before FA begins??

Chadman is sure there's a good reason- but it just seems like all players cut should be made to wait for FA to begin- level playing field, etc...
