Charles Rogers ordered to repay Lions $6.1 million
Having a bad week? Well, it could be worse.
You could be former Lions receiver Charles Rogers, who was the second-overall draft pick in 2003.
Rogers was ordered by a judge to repay $6.1 million, which was roughly two-thirds of his $9.1 million signing bonus, to the team, per David Ashenfelter of the Detroit Free Press.
As Detroit4Lyfe points out, Rogers, who was sentenced to 93 days in jail in January for a probation violation, is no stranger to the legal system.
About a year ago, Rogers was talking about making an NFL comeback.
"I'm just going to do my 10 days, get out of the court system and try to get in shape for a comeback," Rogers said at the time.
"Who knows? Maybe we'll be talking in a year about me playing football again. It's not like I'm 35. I'm only 27 with fresh legs and a lot of life and football ahead of me."
Sad.
