It has been reported that the trade that would have sent Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to Cincinnati was rejected by the league.  The reason for the rejection isn’t clear — Mark Curnutte of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the deal ran afoul of salary-cap rules.

It’s still not clear what about the proposed trade was a problem.

Meanwhile, the Browns will be getting Rogers, for a third-round pick and defensive back Leigh Bodden.
