Other than anyone playing the quarterback position, no Redskins player generates as much polarizing discussion as cornerback Carlos Rogers. Some--I would say most--are so anxious to get the free agent to be out of town that they would help him pack his house and drive the moving van to his new home. Others are concerned about another hole being blown in the defense if Rogers departs.
Ryan O'Halloran and I debated this in our weekly installment of Point-Counterpoint:
Rich Tandler: I’m not one of those who gets on Carlos about his hands of stone. I’ve always said that you drop a potential interception, you were in the right place at the right time. Rogers is not a shutdown corner but he’s a very good one. Still, he’s going to be 30 before the season starts and a team that is looking to rebuild and get younger should think long and hard before signing a cornerback who is that age to what will be a pricey deal
What do you think? Should the Redskins let Rogers walk? Or do what it takes to keep him and address the myriad of other needs in the draft and free agency.
