The Lions are moving closer to trading Shaun Rogers, with the Broncos figuring most prominently in talks involving the massive nose tackle. The Lions face a deadline in making a deal because of a $1 million bonus payment due if Rogers is on the roster on March 1.

What a surprise, a potential malcontent overachieving tackle heads to Denver.

If only Rodgers was drafted by Cleveland.

I am sure SI appreciates you directing everyone to other sites Clement (lol). Please just give us a brief summary. One thing I will never be called is massive...oh wait...nah, I was right.

If I was Denver, I would have Matt Millen on speed dial...they'll trade their water boy for Roy Williams next!

Is that the Shanahan death stare, "I kill you"?

February 26, 2008  08:16 AM ET

Not sure what Detroit is getting in return, but I guaruntee that Denver gets the better end of this deal, long term. Not because Rogers isnt a great player, but because nothing Milen does ever works out.

Denver must just love Detriot, giving them Dre Bly last year, not Rogers.

February 26, 2008  09:01 AM ET

The Lions have a weak defense, so logic dictates that they trade away their defensive players. That Matt Millen is a genius in his own mind.

Why are the Broncos purple? I thought they were BLUE and orange. Weren't their throwbacks the most hideous uniforms ever (besides the JETS).

Did you see the Eagles throwbacks when they played the Lions?

By the looks of that picture, I can't tell if Shanahn needs a drink or needs A.A.

Broncos going after a defensive lineman. Never that would be so not like them. They are like Tampa Bay and Gruden with QBs.

Hopefully we can get just as good of return from last years trade when we got Tatum Bell and George Foster for Dre Bly. Wow that really helped us out. If I was a fan of any other team and heard that they were talking with the Lions I would be very happy. We take the bad players and give away the good ones for low prices.

hey americas legend, i got to go see the boys play the lions this past year, and we DON'T want him in dallas. he is sadly fat and out of shape, and would hurt our defense, not help it.

February 26, 2008  10:12 AM ET

Please take Rodgers but you also get Millen.

February 26, 2008  10:24 AM ET

It doesn't appear that Rodgers will ever reach his potential in Detroit. With that said, a trade is probably a good idea. The down side to that is Millen will be pulling the trigger on the trade. Meaning the Lions will get absolutely nothing in return. Millen should never be allowed to sign a free agent, initiate a trade or go anywhere near the draft. For the love of sports, Fire Millen!

Funny all the weapons they aquire last year and they still suck!!!

February 26, 2008  12:46 PM ET

as a broncos fax i have to agree with TN_FAN... the offense became stale and the bates defensive experiment was painful to watch.

well i hope we get this guy and no better trade partner than detroit. maybe we can give them henry and walker for rogers and williams.. with millen you never know.

February 26, 2008  01:43 PM ET

We need a linebacker...i was hoping they would make a move for Vilma. Oh well.

Time for the bronco's to fire shanahan and move on. He's a " has been /barely was " coach .

Look at the pic.... he's clearly a man on the edge..
