There are a couple ways to look at this. I doubt it was a seller's market with Rogers. He's a lazy player with off the field issues. When he wants to play (which has never been 16 consecutive games), he's one of the best in the league.

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a better offer out there. The timing to save the $1 million could have been the best they could swing.
