Da'Rick Rodgers Released
Chiefs release WR Da'Rick Rogers
Adam Teicher, ESPN Staff Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Talented but troubled wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers was released by the Kansas City Chiefs just hours before they were to begin their mandatory minicamp. Da'Rick Rogers has caught only 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns during his NFL career. Rogers, 23, was one of the SEC's best wide receivers in 2011, when he caught 67 passes for more than 1,000 yards and scored nine touchdowns for Tennessee. But he was subsequently thrown off the team for disciplinary problems and transferred to Tennessee Tech. Rogers has been unable to make it in the NFL. He signed with the Chiefs, his third NFL team, in January but hadn't been impressive during offseason practice. The Chiefs also may have felt comfortable releasing Rogers because of the emergence of rookie wide receiver Chris Conley, who has played well in practice. Rogers pleaded guilty in May in Indianapolis to resolve a 2014 DUI case. He was sentenced to one day in jail and six months of probation. The Chiefs also released offensive lineman Kelvin Palmer, who recently signed as a free agent, and signed offensive lineman Tavon Rooks of Kansas State. |

It's a shame when guys have all the talent in the world, but don't put in the effort. Baldwin, Rogers and Jenkins had potential to be NFL weapons, but didn't put in the work. |

He may suck but think about this for a second,
He's a veteran that knows the offense. Which is great! You need guys like that on your team. He is not here to produce or be that game changer but rather be that mentor that guys like DAT, Wilson and even Conley need. That's worth a lot more value than a guy who is talented but has a two cent brain. |

They have that guy. He just signed a big expensive contract and stands to be a major contributor in this offense..... So, why do we need Avant again? To be clear, i doubt he gets cut, but that's only because the rest of the players on the list are camp fodder. But to act like he's anything but a JAG is silly.

If i had to guess, i'd assume Rodgers didn't pick up the playbook very well. To be cut this early, it's gotta be a mental thing.

Conley will make the roster, he and Rogers are nowhere in the same territory. I'm thinking this has much more to do w/ Cook and Hammond, even Jr. They needed a spot for the OT, and Rogers not cutting it says a lot that he was far below the other prospects like Cook, Hammond, etc. I still think Jr gets cut if Hammond can push him off the STs, and Cook will hit the PS, for at least a while. Avant is probably safe as player/coach for now. Maclin Wilson Conley DAT Hammond Avant PS - Brown, Cook Cut - Hemmingway, Binns Maybe Jr offers enough on STs Dorsey can move him in camp for another body at another position? There are many teams with crappy STs that may carry him as 6th wr. |

Him being cut says a lot more about him than it says about anyone else. I doubt they said "Lets cut Rodgers because Hammond is doing well", but rather, "Lets cut Rodgers because he simply hasn't put in the work we asked him to put in and isn't where he should be".

I have a hard time seeing Hammond beating out Hemingway for a roster spot. Hammond isn't nearly the special teams player, and has done even less when given a chance on the field.
