Rogers cut

[GingerP]

The legend of D'Rick proved to be a myth.

Per Tim Graham:

Bills have released WR Da'Rick Rogers, WR DeMarco Sampson, C Ryan Turnley, CB Jumal Rolle, DB Dominique Ellis

[ServoBillieves]

Lol. Let the mayhem begin.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

man, probably biggest disappointment of camp, rogers

[X-Era]

Good for Marrone.

All the potential in the world but was cut due to mental lapses and poor routes.

Maybe the kid can pull it together as time passes. The late Chris Henry was a fortunate one who did. I wish him well.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I would've put him on PS.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

lions will sign him, they have literally nothing opposite calvin

[GingerP]

I would've put him on PS.

Still can in a couple weeks, if he doesn't make another roster.

[Dr. Lecter]

man, probably biggest disappointment of camp, rogers

You are like the curse to Bills rookies.......

[Dr. Lecter]

I would've put him on PS.

Why can't they? He has to clear waivers anyway to be there

[Dr. Lecter]

lions will sign him, they have literally nothing opposite calvin

And Rogers helps them how?

I never understand why people get hyped up on UDFAs and late round rookies.

They are late round rookies and UDFAs for a reason.

It's not like all the other teams just forgot to scout them.

[ServoBillieves]

Michael Jasper was also cut by the Giants... someone said we should bring him in again. Seems legit.

B... but Martin Nance was going to be a star!

[Oaf]

I thought this was about Justin Rogers. :mad:

Think he can play corner?

[Tatonka]

the writing was on the wall after his total lack of playing time in the skins game.

[Oaf]

I wish we would have got Kenbrell Thompkins instead - he's starting for the Pats.

I'm not saying that EVERY late round pick or UDFA is going to suck.

I'm saying I don't know why people get hyped up about them, because the vast majority of them end up out of the league within 2-3 years.

There's a reason that you know about the guys you just named. Because it's so rare for an UDFA/late rounder to make it.

There were a startling amount of people that expected Rogers to start opposite Stevie this year.

not sure if you know what the word "literally" means.

[DraftBoy]

Not a huge shock here, let's see if he makes it through waivers.

Also a great sign for Hogan and Easley.

[Meathead]

a former projected first rounder flopping out before final cuts on a wr starved is a really bad sign that something is seriously wrong with the guys chances in the nfl

[Pinkerton Security]

man, probably biggest disappointment of camp, rogers

also, remember when you were throwing around Julio Jones comparisons, whether they were yours or not, and everyone crapped all over you? This is why you dont do that. I am all about positivity but lets temper our expectations a little next time.

Regardless of what personnel was on the field for both clubs in the ps opener, Easley got open, and got space around him. An impressive performance IMO.

[trapezeus]

i didn't think rogers was going to do much when we signed him...mostly because not the dude was so high on him.

but after watching how the WR's have played, he was in a tough race with guys who are either seasoned in NFL camps and know how important it is to be really good and with guys who were drafted high and seem to get what it takes to be in the NFL.

and frankly, my feeling (no inside knowledge or anything) is that the guy just didn't grasp the playbooks well enough compared to the other guys. and it's worth canning the guy who doesn't know much than cutting a guy who got it and can go to the competitor.

[Captain gameboy]

He was skewered by Chris Brown during the radio cast from the game.

Essentially accused of being an ADD guy.

Toughest words I've ever heard. I'm surprised he even made the trip.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Disappointing that he didn't pan out. Maybe he'll make it to the practice squad and we can try it again next year.

[trapezeus]

i think some of these highly atheletic WR's tend to take time to develop because up until the NFL, they could rely on their natural ability to win a play. They didn't need to know the playbook well, they just had to show wide open separation from their DB.

Now the windows are so tights, plays are so choreographed, that QB's need to know you'll be where you are supposed to be or they are the ones who look bad.

Hogan and Easley look very capable. and they are getting a lot of targeted passes meaning the qb's feel comfortable with them.

Rogers knock was his immaturity and the little we've seen of him in games makes it obvious that that is still an issue. he could eventually get it, but on a team with a lot of WR talent, this isn't the place to find out if he can improve 2-3 years down the road.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Also Eric Moulds.

When you throw comparisons around like you do, it makes it seem like a bigger disappointment than it really is.

[Oaf]

Joique Bell worked out for them.

[BillsFever21]

lions will sign him, they have literally nothing opposite calvin

But he is a Julio Jones clone...

The #2 WR prediction worked out as good as the Tank Carder prediction from last season. Or the Kevin Kolb and the 5 different starting caliber LG's during this offseason. Maybe you should get out of the football prediction business. :rofl:

This is just another case of somebody taking one of our undrafted FA's and claiming they will be a star. There is at least one of them every season then too many make this claim with. There are a few hundred undrafted FA's throughout the NFL every offseason but for some reason ours will always be a star.

[Night Train]

Million dollar build.

10 cent brain.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Bellichick will sign him off waivers. If not to help the terrible Pats WR core, at least to pick his brain on our offense then cut him.

[justasportsfan]

at least to pick his brain on our offense then cut him. wrong guy to ask , but I'm all for it.

[Dr. Lecter]

Has any team signed Kwame Cavil, er, Martin Nance, er, um... Da'Rick Rogers yet?

[jdaltroy5]

Bellichick will sign him off waivers. If not to help the terrible Pats WR core, at least to pick his brain on our offense then cut him.
It's a good thing that he was most likely cut because he couldn't learn the offense.

This will end up helping us. He's probably just going to give him a lot of misinformation.

[Turf]

They'd be better off asking Steve Correl's character from the anchorman what type of offense we run. It's ablashamatic dushoaven.

[better days]

I think another Receiver is one of the final cuts. That is the receiver the Pats* will sign.

[Bill Cody]

Bellichick will sign him off waivers. If not to help the terrible Pats WR core, at least to pick his brain on our offense then cut him.

Think this through. If he understood our offense he wouldn't have been cut.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Think this through. If he understood our offense he wouldn't have been cut.
Explain Donald Jones.

[trapezeus]

obviously the bills knew about jones kidney. perhaps that was a deciding factor and his lack of numbers.

i could see why someone would take jones. he played with a weak, inaccurate qb, but made catches when thrown to. and when passes were thrown on target, he got yac.

i think d'rick rogers didn't grasp the high paced offense and got himself in the dog house. i would think a coaching staff that sees a guy not really study hard probably pulls back on the level of info they are handing out.

i think rogers has a lot of upside, but i think getting cut from a team or two might be the thing that wakes him up and gets him to not rely solely on his athleticism. It's no longer college. everyone has talent. the guys who put the work in are the ones who succeed.

[BertSquirtgum]

I hope he clears waivers and the Bills sign him to the squad. He needs some time to learn the mental aspect of the NFL game.

[Bill Cody]

Explain Donald Jones.

A guy they thought had a shot of being a 4th or 5th receiver but had a medical condition and retired.

How about the mental aspect of life?

[GingerP]

He did clear waivers, which means nobody wants him at even the minimum. I would think any team interested would want to bring him and and see how he handled their system, even if they were just interested in cutting him later and trying to sign him to the PS. The kid must be a real mush-head.

[trapezeus]

maybe he's an easley. maybe he needs 3 years of fighting through it before he really gets his chance.

whatever the case is, it doesn't seem like right now is his time.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Lets see if I have this correct.

1) Rogers was a NARC at Tennessee and it became problematic and he was cut
2) This caused him to free fall through the draft rankings
3) He went undrafted
4) We picked him up as a UDFA
5) He didn't show much in camp or in the pre-season

Why is anyone surprised that he got cut and/or crying the sky is falling? He had lots of question marks regarding character and he couldn't produce enough to justify continuing the experiment. He'll be out of the league in less than three years.

[justasportsfan]

Seemed Hogan and Easely have played better and have ST capability.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

1) Rogers was a NARC at Tennessee and it became problematic and he was cut

"NARC." I do not think it means what you think it means.

[swiper]

Also Eric Moulds.

NOTTHEDUDE is a troll. Why do you guys let him do it?

[Tatonka]

so no one picked him up at all huh?

[justasportsfan]

we should bring him back to play CB

[better days]

NOTTHEDUDE is a troll. Why do you guys let him do it?

I think a troll is a fan from a different team that comes on a board to get a rise out of that teams real fans.

The Dude is a Bills fan without question so I don't think he is a troll.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

"NARC." I do not think it means what you think it means.

So he was the antithesis of narc, or better yet one who was turned in by a NARC. Sorry, I thought it meant narcotic user. Well, in that case I meant to say doper.

[stuckincincy]

Agreed.

[Crisis]

He's not a troll, he's just... special.

[don137]

Bellichick has said he wants intelligent players. Rogers seems to be a players that is athletic but his mental mistakes indicates he is probably not the smartest guy.

[sukie]

D'Rick must be special. An UFA gets whacked in the first round of cuts and garners 3 pages on a fan forum. Someone HAS to pick this guy up.

Perhaps the Cookville, Tennessee police department...

[GingerP]

Rogers has a try out with Miami yesterday. Hanging out on South Beach would probably help him stay out of trouble, right?

[GingerP]

The Colts signed Da'Rick Rogers to their PS. The legend continues in Indianapolis...

[Meathead]

so the bills didnt even want him on the ps. now thats embarrassing duhrick

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

Hes a Dolt, uh, Colt

[lmcshadow]

This might bite us in the A$*

[feldspar]

LOL, I looked at the title of the thread "Rogers cut," and I thought it meant Justin Rogers there for a second...that wouldn't make much sense considering the Bills' CB issues...whew...not that Justin Rogers is all that great, but cutting him wouldn't make any sense right now.

[ServoBillieves]

This might bite us in the A$*

Yes. The UDFA that no one wanted could come back to bite us in the ass.
