This pretty much seals the deal for the move to a 3-4 defense. They may have some 4-3 type packages but the base D is going to be 3-4.

This put Rogers as your NT. Peko will slide to end sometimes. Once Odell is allowed back you'll have Odell and Brooks at ILB and Jones and possibly Pollack at OLB. Geathers will also play DE and OLB.

I really think this trade opens up the draft. I'd still love for Dorsey or Ellis to be there at #9, but I think it opens it up to allow anyone to be drafted.

Losing Williams to Minnesota, I think the 2nd or 3rd round compensatory pick should be spent on a safety.

He probably will, but that comp pick won't be until 2009. Losing Smith might get us a 3rd round comp pick next year as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Landon Johnson got us a 6th round comp pick next year.

The Bengals should have a 3rd rnd comp pick this year for losing Steinbach and probably a 6th for losing Kevin K (not attempting his last name)

So they'll still have a pick in rounds 1-4 this year.

You can't trade comp picks. They haven't been officially announced either. The pick they traded today is their own actual 3rd round pick, #77 overall.

They will get a comp pick for Steinbach that should be at the end of the 3rd round, somewhere around #96

Only if they trade the #9 pick to Dallas for the #22 and #24. Then take Phillips and Merling or Harvey.

Want to talk about totally rehabbing a D!

Of course the chances of them trading the #9 pick are slim.

So, Rogers has been in trouble for taking "diet pills" and I remember perhaps reading about him struggling to play hard every down. I'm not real sure about this deal, although for draft picks, it lowers the risk.

He is a big man who gets into the backfield and disrupts plays. I am impressed that the Bengals went after a guy who is getting to the peak of his career(Rogers), instead of someone at the down end (Adams). The only worry I have is his constant battle with weight.

As I don't see Gholston dropping to 9, do you think the Bengals will trade up for Gholston, stay at 9 and draft a S (Phillips) or LB (Connor) or trade down for Harvey.

I'd honestly rather see us trade up for Gholston or down for Harvey than go S or LB.

Rogers-to-Bengals trade starting to unravel
Associated Press

DETROIT -- The trade that would have sent Detroit Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rodgers to the Cincinnati Bengals for third- and fifth-round draft picks appears to have fallen apart, according to a report on The Detroit News Web site.

The trade, confirmed by the Lions earlier in the day on Friday, was never consummated. And now, according to the News report, the Lions will look to trade Rodgers to another team. NFL Network's Adam Schefter confirmed the accuracy of the report.

Heres what Mark Curnutte posted on his blog:


League stops Rogers trade to Bengals

The NFL nixed the trade today of Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to the Bengals for two draft picks because it ran afoul of league salary-cap rules.

The Bengals had agreed to trade third- and fifth-round picks to Detroit in April’s draft in exchange for Rogers, who plays at more than 360 pounds and had seven sacks among his 66 tackles in 2007.

The Bengals confirmed nothing Friday, even as reports swirled nationally that Lions officials had said they'd traded Rogers to the Bengals for third- and fifth-round picks in April's draft. The Bengals have the 77th overall pick in Round 3 but are expecting to gain compensatory draft picks in the third and fifth rounds for 2007 free agent defections.

Kennard McGuire, Rogers’ agent, told The Enquirer in an e-mail this afternoon that Rogers had been traded to the Bengals.

Neither the Bengals nor Lions backed out. The league stepped in to prevent the trade.

The Detroit News is reporting tonight on its Web site that Rogers was headed to Cleveland for a third-round pick and cornerback Leigh Bodden. Browns coach Romeo Crennel said last week at the scouting combine that their priority was to upgrade their front seven defensively.

An apparent snag has developed in the Shaun Rogers trade to Cincinnati that has the Lions calling around seeking other trade options and could nix the trade.

Earlier Friday, the Lions worked out a trade in which Rogers would go to the Bengals in exchange for No. 3 and No. 5 picks in the 2008 draft. The Lions confirmed the details of the trade with the local media. But the Bengals didn't officially confirm the trade, and the front office has the public relations staff on hold to make an official announcement.

In the meantime, there is talk the Lions might be considering a trade involving Rogers going to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third-round choice and cornerback Leigh Bodden.

The Rogers-to-Bengals trade has not been officially sent to the NFL league office.

Rogers is often among the most dominant defensive players in the league. But he failed to live up to expectations at times because of weight and off-the-field problems.

The Bengals, meanwhile, agreed to terms on a three-year contract with linebacker Dhani Jones.

Jones and linebacker Landon Johnson were two of the team's priorities to re-sign once free agency started Friday morning. Jones, who signed with the Bengals during the 2007 season after a number of linebacker injuries, was the first to reach an agreement. Talks continue with Johnson, who is an unrestricted free agent.

The Bengals lost safety Madieu Williams to the Vikings early Friday morning when he agreed to a six-year, $33 million contract.

This is officially the most depressing day in sports. One bit of closure though may be that Leigh Bodden is out of the AFC North. If I had to choose between facing Shaun Rogers or Leigh Bodden twice a season, id take Rogers.

Bengals looking at more options

Updated: 11;50 p.m.

With ESPN.com reporting that the NFL has voided the Shaun Rogers trade because of language issues, the Bengals appear to be considering other options along their defensive front involving trades and/or unrestricted free agents.

If the league doesn't reverse its stance, one player that could be in their sights is Jets' tackle Dewayne Robertson, one of the players involved in a three-team deal with Rogers that didn't come off Friday morning and led to the Bengals' trade with Detroit in which the Bengals swapped their third- and fifth-round picks.

An NFL source confirmed the trade and most outlets reported it. As the night wore on, reports had Rogers going to Cleveland for cornerback Leigh Bodden and a draft pick and came at the end of a typically frenzied first day of free agency.

Plus let's be real, there are more options out there in DT land. Stroud and Robertson are both still on the market and I could see the Bengals taking a run at either one of those guys. Rogers is a very good player but at 357lbs when does his body start breaking down. Odom is in this week as well as McCree, I for one would love a tandem of Stroud and Odom.

Is what someone is reporting. I find this part a little weird though.


While the Lions and Bengals were pleading their case to the league office to agree to the contract, the Browns - one of Cincinnati's division rivals - got wind of the impending trade.

It's not completely clear who initiated the contact, but Rogers' agent was in touch with the Browns and the long-term contract situation no longer appeared to be a problem. The Lions were then contacted and asked if they were still interested in doing business with the Browns. Leigh Bodden was back on the table and the Lions leaped at it.
