<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dolphins audition former first-round pick WR RogersAssociated PressUnemployed wide receiver Charles Rogers has a new agent. Whether he'll soon have a new team remains to be seen.The second overall selection in the 2003 draft, but released by the Detroit Lions on Sept. 2 after three seasons marred by injuries, inconsistency and a four-game league suspension in 2005 for a repeat violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, Rogers auditioned on Tuesday for Miami Dolphins coaches and personnel officials, ESPN.com has confirmed.There was no immediate feedback on Rogers' workout or any indication that the Dolphins planned to offer him a contract. But the three-year veteran is familiar with Nick Saban, who played a role in recruiting him to Michigan State, and the Miami head coach acknowledged when Rogers was cut by the Lions that he could have some interest in him.Miami continues to seek a player who can stabilize the No. 3 wide receiver position behind starters Chris Chambers and Marty Booker. One player who could emerge in that role is third-year veteran Wes Welker, but Saban earlier this week noted that, while he likes his roster, it remains "a work in progress."It's dubious whether Rogers would represent progress but, at just 25 years of age, and still possessed of enormous athletic talent, it seems just a matter of time until some NFL team provides him the opportunity to try to resurrect his career.ESPN.com has learned that, prior to his Miami trip, Rogers spent some time speaking by phone with at least one professional who counsels NFL players on how to best present themselves in interview sessions. He also ended his relationship with agent Kevin Poston, who has represented him since he entered the NFL, and is expected to sign with agent Jason Fletcher of St. Louis.Rogers, who went unclaimed on waivers after the Lions jettisoned him, has been advised that he may have to accept a minimum base salary to get back into the league and begin the process of trying to rebuild his career.Between bonuses and base salaries, Detroit paid Rogers $16.2 million in three years, but reaped little dividend from that investment. Rogers appeared in only 15 games, starting in just nine of them, and had 36 receptions for 440 yards and four touchdowns. He suffered broken collarbones in each of his first two seasons.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2585301
They dont need recievers. They have three in Chambers, Booker, and Hagan and then you can even include McMichael in there too. What they need is to improve on their offensive line with running plays because they looked god awful.

It's like the New Oakland. :whistling:

And he hasn't signed on, thats good I don't want some injury prone head case.I think our WR corps is fine as it is.
