Carolina intersted in Carlos Rogers

Asante played against Jake in the 2009 opener, "padding" his stats I'm sure. :rolleyes:

Instead of flashy INT numbers, give me the guy who rarely sees a pass enter his vicinity. That defines shut-down.

So your argument is that BC he had one game against a bad QB, the stats for the rest of his season should be thrown out the window?

Edit: Asante was targeted 46 times in 09, and 34 times in 2010(Only 11 games). Both seasons he was #1 in the NFL in yards per pass play that he was a part of. If thats not a shut down corner I dont know what is

would help us for sure in the short term. He is 30 so while he isn't done, he is more of a band-aid at this point.

Either way he would come in at a discounted rate and should be able to play in the #2 spot, seems like he would be a good sign.

A cornerback who's decent at defending passes but not so great at picking them off?

Ah heck. We already have one of those. Why not make it a set?

[necroplasm]

False, with the exception of last season Gamble is a top CB in the league.

Nah man, the level as in.. taking risk. Gamble misses a lot of tackles when he gambles like he does. But it pays off most of the time.. unlike Hall, is what I meant.

[God]

go get him naow

Stop-gap CB, stop complaining better, than Munnerlyn getting torched by offenders.

I hope we give a call to Hayden.

[necroplasm]

Exactly! What in the hell?

lol, that's not what I meant. Level of gambling on the play.

Carlos Rodgers is a very solid CB. I'd be quite happy if we signed him to a reasonable contract (in light of his age).

[Seamonk]

If we pick him up for Cheap, I'll like the pick-up. Our division has turned into a passing division. Plus, our safeties are always in the right spots when passes are getting deflected. He doesn't have to catch any if he's so good at deflecting them.

[necroplasm]

I think he will take a reasonable contract. I think he's the best value of all the CBs in this FA. Most teams who have needed a cornerback.. has found their man it seems.

I have wanted him on the team all along.

[nagai]

Ummmm... he is 30 though right?

Are we that intent on winning THIS year? Is this a bad move for the future? I'm 50-50 on this one. Could be great though.

[Proudiddy]

I'm trying to figure out why this is a better option than Asante if he could be had for an expendable player?

I wouldn't mind the signing at all... Actually have said "on the record" here that I would be all in favor of it. BUT, if Asante is an option, I'd prefer him.

They're relatively the same age and IIRC Asante makes 5mil and some change this year. So you're telling me Carlos Rogers would sign for less than that? I doubt it. If both are gonna make around that 5 range, why wouldn't you go after Asante...

Or even Cromartie?

He wouldn't cost us an Arm and a Leg trying to trade for him. He's already a free agent.

Also, getting into a bidding war with the Jets over cromartie would be stupid.

Rogers would be a stop gap guy while hogan and hopefully future 1st round draft pick, Dre Kirkpatrick, will develop. Leaving us with a really good CB tandem for the future.
