Shaun Rogers asks to be released/traded
In his first season with the Cleveland Browns, NT Shaun Rogers made the Pro Bowl. Rogers had 75 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 2008.
Will he be back for a 2nd season with the team?
Per the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Rogers has asked to be released or traded after being/feeling snubbed by new head coach Eric Mangini. A directive indicating Rogers can't participate in the off-season program unless he makes weight (350 pounds) has alienated Rogers as well.
The Browns don't intend on releasing Rogers, but if they did release him, Rogers would count $9.7 million towards the salary cap. Rogers is due a $6 million bonus next month, but would prefer to be released.
Maybe Rogers is a little over sensitive, but it's not that hard for Mangini to reach out to the Browns' best defensive player.
