ROGERS BACKS OUT OF CANADA OPPORTUNITY?

A couple of weeks ago, former Lions receiver Charles Rogers, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft, was reportedly close to signing with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.
G.M. Jim Popp pegged the chances of Rogers joining the team at 80-20. Hopefully, Popp didn’t place any bets on the proposition.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Rogers has yet to sign with the team, and Rogers and his agent have not been returning calls from the Alouettes.
“We’ve never booked him a flight for training camp and haven’t received his contract,” Popp said.
Maybe Rogers has cultivated an opportunity in the NFL. (It actually took me three minutes to get that sentence typed properly because my hands were shaking from laughter.)
