Lughead Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Giants Meet With Former Detroit Lions Bust Posted Apr 12th 2007 8:09PM by Dan Benton Filed under: NY Giants, NFC East, New York, NFL Free Agency According to NFL Network (TV), former Detroit Lions wide receiver and first round bust Charles Rogers visited the Giants today. Despite the pending returns of Amani Toomer and Sinorice Moss, the Giants have made no secrets about their desire to add another wide receiver. It may not be their number one priority but it certainly is on their "to do list." The potential Rogers has, even after three failed seasons with the Lions, has me sold. I know a lot of people are going to say "pass," but I think a system change would do the former second overall pick good. And perhaps he's finally got his head on straight after a year away from the league. In the three seasons with Detroit Rogers caught 36 passes for 440 yards and four touchdowns.

knarf Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sign him, he will come cheap if he works out great if he sucks no loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 In the league 3 years, on injured reserve 2. I can't think of a more perfect replacement for Tim Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginCaucasian Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I heard that Sinorice Moss was looking for a workout partner to make him look better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaNJ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If the price is low it is a win... good hands and good size. If he gives us 5 games a season he is better then carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I got no problem with it, no matter what he would do in training camp he'll simply be a no 4 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I got no problem with it, no matter what he would do in training camp he'll simply be a no 4 receiver. Yeah he should come at a reasonable price, the upside is there and in the 4th receiver slot he shouldn't hurt us. Even if Amani did get hurt he should still be a decent 3rd WR.

NightFire Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yay, 2 gimp WRs on the roster (maybe 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The guy is running his 40's in about 4.9, so he's slower than a tight end, so if nothing else he'd be a possession receiver. With his size he could be worth a try, have him catch passes up the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If just to fill a body, then fine. I still have a funny feeling that Anthony Mix is gonna be a decent player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If its cheap enough, I say do it. The guy has a tremendous upside and he was on a crappy team. I think on a better team, and a team that has a history of handling troublesome players well, (i.e. Christian Peter)he could be very productive.

Reaper Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Why don't we just sign a TE and Move Shockey to WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randoff Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The guy is running his 40's in about 4.9, so he's slower than a tight end, so if nothing else he'd be a possession receiver. With his size he could be worth a try, have him catch passes up the middle. Just found out Tom Brady ran a 5.3 forty times during his combine. But I am sure he has more heart than Rogers.

Iceman_NYG Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Get him. He will come cheap. If he doesnt work out its fine, we are currently in shit anyway. But if he does pan out, he could be helpful in getting us out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
