Washington Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers feels like his time in Washington will soon come to an end. After six seasons with the Redskins Rogers is looking for his second contract as an NFL player. Which is usually the biggest contract of any players’ career.
“I ain’t never discounting the Redskins, but my mindset right now is that it’s time for a change,” said Rogers, whom Washington selected ninth overall in the 2005 draft, meaning he’s been with the team longer than all but five teammates. “I don’t think I’ve been as appreciated as I should be in that organization, not by everybody. I’ve always been the No. 2 corner, but I’m the one they put on a guy they want to shut down. I just don’t have the interceptions like (current fellow starting corner DeAngelo Hall) has and Shawn (Springs, Hall’s predecessor) used to have.
“My agent’s real confident that I’m going to get a good contract. After [Oakland’s Nnamdi Asomugha), who’s going to get real big money, I’m the next corner out there. You hear that the Cowboys and Eagles are looking for a corner. It would be fun to play against the Redskins twice a year.”
Rogers may be one of the best potential free agent cover corners in the NFL. The biggest knock on him has been his inability to hold on to interceptions. A lot of passes thrown his way that he is able to get his hands on he ends up dropping.
I find it interesting that Rogers wouldn’t mind playing for either the Dallas Cowboys or the Philadelphia Eagles. I guess he doesn’t care who he plays for, as long as he gets paid in the end.

Carlos is a punk for wanting to go play for a rival of the only team he has played for in the NFL. We should ruin his dreams and try to trade to him to a really sorry team in the AFC.
