The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to trade veteran defensive tackle Marcus Stroud, and now they may be looking to replace him by trading for veteran defensive tackle Shaun Rogers.
The Jacksonville Times-Union reports that the Jaguars are in discussions with the Detroit Lions about acquiring Rogers, whom the Lions hope to trade before a $1 million roster bonus comes due Saturday.
But the Lions may be willing to pay Rogers the bonus, even though they don’t expect him to be in Detroit next season, just to give themselves more time to orchestrate a trade. Other teams said to be interested in Rogers include the Broncos and Jets.
Both Stroud and Rogers are big, talented defensive tackles who have had injury problems. Both have also served four-game suspensions for violating the league’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.
