Lions Would Like Charles Rogers to Send Them a Check for $8.5M, Please
[size=12pt]Lions Would Like Charles Rogers to Send Them a Check for $8.5M, Please[/size]

...Bad news, Chuck, you might want to get moving on scanning the want ads: the Lions want $8.5 million of that bonus back, and after three years, an arbitrator agrees.
When [Rogers] was suspended by the NFL for substance abuse in 2005 -- his third strike under the league's policy -- the Lions argued that he triggered a clause that put him in default of his contract. At the time, the club was seeking $10.2 million -- a pro-rated portion of Rogers' bonus money.
The Lions now must go through a few routine legal procedures before they can demand the repayment obligation and take action to collect. The Lions will get $8.5 million added to their salary cap next season, but only if they physically collect the money....Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.

He did make a lot of good decisions in his time in the NFL.
I'm sure he was wise enough to save most of his bonus money and keep it for a rainy day such as this...

The Lions are the franchise that reminds me of that "One Cousin" every family has that would take you to Judge Judy over a car you borrowed and forgot to fill-up before returning.
They truly are the One-toothed cousin of the NFL.Disclaimer: I'm an idiot.
