A quote from Alouette GM Jim Popp from this article:
“I would say there’s about an 80-20 chance of him being at training camp, coming in and competing for a job. It’s not completed yet, but he can come in as a CFL rookie and we’ll make an assessment of him, where he’s at in his career and his life.”
Allow me. Rogers was the second pick in the 2003 draft, selected between Carson Palmer and Andre Johnson and now five years later he’s in fucking Canada competing with Danny Desriveaux, the bilingual finance major, for a roster spot. He’s a bad workout away from being locked down by a UPS truck driver on an upcoming episode of Pros vs. Joes. That’s where Rogers is in his life. Being a CFL GM should not be this difficult or painstaking. Just throw a whole bunch of Robbie Bordens at freshly washed up NFL stars and watch the Grey Cups roll in. Sacrebleu!
