The Detroit Lions ship Shaun Rogers to the Bengals

Blogged under Big Lions News,Bloglockers,Front Page,Trades by admin on Friday 29 February 2008 at 5:14 pm

The Lions have traded DT Shaun Rogers to the Bengals for either a 3rd or 4th round pick.  Rogers played in 98 games in his career with the Lions and he made 272 tackles, had 29 sacks, defensed 21 passes, forced 4 fumbles and intercepted a pass that he returned 66 yards for a TD.  The Lions will have a hard time replacing Rogers so this trade didn’t make much sense.

UPDATE:  The trade with the Bengals fell through and the Lions got a much better deal with the Cleveland Browns.  The Browns traded a 3rd round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and CB Leigh Bodden to the Lions for Rogers.  Bodden played in all 16 games last season for the Browns and he made 88 tackles, defensed 15 passes and had 6 interceptions.  Bodden has now played in 59 games in his NFL career and he has made 221 tackles, defensed 48 passes, forced 4 fumbles and intercepted 12 passes.  Bodden will immediately be the Lions best cover corner which was a position of need.
