policyvote Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) ETA: ROGERS NOW TRADED TO CLEVELAND!! Lions get Bodden and third-rounderby Tom Kowalski Friday February 29, 2008, 9:38 PM It has not been confirmed yet, but a league source said the Lions are very close to finalizing a deal that will send Shaun Rogers to the Cleveland Browns for veteran cornerback Leigh Bodden and a third-round draft pick. Details are still sketchy, but the original trade that sent Rogers to the Cincinnati Bengals for a third- and fifth-round pick did not go through. For severals days prior to Friday, the Browns had been the most interested in dealing for Rogers. Bodden had been mentioned as part of the deal. With veteran free agent cornerbacks Brian Kelly and Drayton Florence both looking for high-dollar contracts, the Lions wanted to land a veteran cornerback in a deal for Rogers. Uh, okay. According to the sports director of Lansing's ABC 53, apparently the NFL nixed the Bengals deal on a technicality. The Lions then went with the next best deal . . . Cleveland is going to have an impressive interior DL. Thanks for all the memories big guy. NORTHERN Ohio buffets and strip clubs everywhere are going to Defcon 1.

Furd Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 For draft picks? Given Millen's drafting "prowess," its like giving away the fat slob for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) I'm Ok with that. It really looks like the change over to the 3-4 is underway. 340 pounds can stuff a lot of cheesburgers and hopefully Steeler guards. The Bengals should have a couple compensatory picks coming their way. Probably a 3rd for guard Steinbach.

piratesownninjas Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Apparently the deal may be falling apart. Wow... I wonder what happened. For the teams to announce it, then for the Lions to come out and say that they were looking at other teams is rather odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Uh, nevermind? The trade's been scotched, apparently by the NFL, apparently because they didn't want to see the Bengals acquiring another player in the substance abuse program. This I can't really believe, but that's the rumor. Rogers has now been traded to the Cleveland Browns for their third-rounder and CB Leigh Bodden.
