"had angered Bill Belichick so much with his actions — which included missed practices — that he was one misstep away from being released." Well, go big or go home? That was some misstep!

Has he cleared waivers? Anyone pick him up yet?

No surprise on Rogers. Marrone telegraphed that awhile ago. Amazing how some misinterpret pretty straightforward comments and conjure up grand conspiracy theories!

How 'bout practice tape? Doesn't practice tape help decide who gets on preseason tape? I thought I heard a coach or two say the tape doesn't lie.

Besides Easley not being eligible for practice squad, I think Easley would get snapped up quicker than Rogers. The tape don't lie.

What a weird interpretation of the situation.

Whaaa??? No long term deal possible until after the season.

Why you raggin' on Easley man! Guys been a beast!

And camp breaks tomorrow....shocker! Glad they didn't negotiate away their right to franchise him again next year.

And camp breaks tomorrow - about what was expected. Glad they didn't negotiate away their right to franchise him again.

There's a new sheriff in town. Get with the program, or get lost. For a NFL head coach to publicly call out his player for "getting down" and "feeling sorry for himself" are pretty strong indicators this guy is not above minimal team standards and expectations, now matter how talented he may be, and will not be given an exception.

I don't know what the season ticket holder discount is, but can't you work with them to buy the same seats you would've gotten if you bought seasons, but in that case you're only paying for 7 games, working out to about the same price? I know you want official seasons, but if they won't do that this seems like a viable plan B.

I take it as he could be a fine player somewhere, but not here if he doesn't get his head on straight, and soon!

Coach sounds frustrated with him to me, calling him out for getting down and feeling sorry for himself, unlike his fellow rookie counterparts. Unless he turns it around and shows Marrone what he wants to see, sounds to me like coach is very much contemplating cutting him.

No, no I do not.

At this rate Tuel will be opening day starter.

The point being they at least acknowledged the guy was cut and either correctly or incorrectly reaffirmed their initial evaluation. They most certainly do not "ignore" other teams cut lists.

The statement that was made was that teams may "ignore" that first cutdown to 75. I don't think so. Uh, yes? The guy is really taking that leap in his 2nd year and will be part of the core WR group.

It baffles me to think that people believe pro sports teams ignore these transactions. You do realize teams employ full time staff to fully research and keep tabs on all players, right? They have their own scouting files from preparing for these guys coming out of college, they are fully aware of every name that gets cut and what the personnel people think of them.

Actually, it's probably pick one. And I don't see how Rogers deserves to be that one. More importantly, the coaches relegating Rogers to 4th string play in games probably means he's not their first or second choice either.

Either they're smart for "hiding" him according to you, or he is actually "performing" in games, again according to you. Which is it? BTW, if this is your definition of performing, feel free to raise the bar just a tad - I know the coaches are. On another side, when guys like Kaufman and Sampson are stealing your game reps, outlook not so good for your boy. Oh, the horror of "exposing" him to waivers!

Wow, let us know what we can get in a trade for him after "showcasing" that type of "performance"!

Wow, showcasing for potential trades?! Someone out there is gonna give us something for Hogan or Kaufman?! Hahaha! Smart not to expose Rogers?! The guy is an undrafted player with character issues and hasn't performed in games. He's getting cut, deal with it. Wow, people have talked about the myth and legend of Easley over the years, but this Da'Rick guys fanboys takes the cake!

Easley looking very good.

We're gonna like this Woods guy!
