NFL: Rogers trade not our business
This word this morning from the NFL on the Shaun Rogers trade from the Lions to Bengals that didn't happen.
"Clubs discuss trades all the times that are not completed," Greg Aiello, NFL Senior Vice President of Public Relations, said. "This is a club matter and we are not in a position to comment."
Jack Brennan, the Bengals' PR director, was asked again this morning for an explanation. He said he would check with team executives.

Post a Comment*Jonathan Fanene is a good signing.
Look all this about the NFL saying blocking the trade is a joke. The Bengals as usual couldn't close the deal. They dropped the ball like they always do. They are Mikey's Bungles. Spend your money elsewhere and you will feel better.
It looks as if the Bengals may be signing Kenderick Allen
How enbaressing! The first aquisition we try fails and then ends up with a division rival. Can you say GM? Release Smith, the onle D-lineman that can tackle, sign Fanene, a guy that rarely plays, and when he does is as much a spectator as the fans. I dont comprehend this. Every year Is more disappointing than the last. This Organization is exasperating.
This makes me ill. It would not be so bad, but the BROWNS got him. I hope we see some better news next week.
I can't believe it, or should I say I can believe it. The Bengals had a chance to make a real impact filling a very obvious need for a bad defense, but for some reason (the mighty dollar) the Brown Family couldn't pull it off. I shouldn't be suprize, every since Mike Brown hase taken over operations, all he cares about is himself, not the fans who put the money in his pocket.
do you really think guys like rogers or odom really want to come here? I would take less pay else where. This team doesn't have their stuff together. Everyone in the league knows it. We are a laughing stock.
It is a joke the team tries to blame the leaugue. None of the other teams in the NFL had a hard time making trades yesterday. Especially Cleveland!
I was excited with the trade for Rogers, thinking that Mike Brown is finally tired of losing and will make some things happen with this free agent market. But, I woke up and realized I was just dreaming.
C'mon Mark, do some digging and get us an answer here! What really happened? You're the journalist!
what happened is that this is a staff that has never traded FOR a player, just draft picks. They probably screwed up the paperwork or the contract because they are ill suited for their jobs. If there is anything that puts this organization in a micro-chasm it is this buffoonery. Any 10 year old with madden could run a better organization.
Not that I'm defending this slipshod organization, but they HAVE traded for players, i.e. Deltha O'Neal.
You dont need Mark..I will tell you all what happened...Follow the Roster Bonus dued to him at 12:01 am,the Bengals would NOT give him the 1 millon and held out till the Lions started making more calls cas Mike Brown wasnt gonna pay it,so that held it up long enough for the Browns to make the Deal,think about it,How would the Browns ever know there wasnt a deal if the Lions didnt call them 1st??
