Saints sign Shaun Rogers; Hartley extension

I like the move. I also Like the fact that he took $2mil less than what was offered by another team. He's played w/ the Lions & Browns, and hungry to play w/ a winner. I see that translating to more fire, intensity and work ethic., If he remains healthy it will be a good move, IMO.

I guess we're going defense end, OLB or RB in the 1st round.

A 1 year deal is interesting.

I doubt thats what Rogers wanted, but maybe it says something about our organization that he signed a 1-year deal.

Maybe he views us as a team that believes that if you produce, we'll work out something better with you for next year.

Or...

He thinks he'll pocket 4 million, play well, and land a 3-4 year deal with someone next season.

The pressure was probably all on him since without a contract before March 3rd, he has no health benefits at all.

I'm thinking the second. Not only does signing here give him an opportunity for a ring, if he plays well he could land that last contract. Regardless of how he's thinking, he should be very motivated to play this upcoming season... and Ellis is going to have a monster year because of it.
