'Big Baby' Rogers a No-Show at Browns Workouts

Disgruntled Browns DT Shaun "Big Baby" Rogers' feud with head coach Eric Mangini continues. The Feud began a few months ago when on two separate occasions Mangini refused to initiate conversation with his new star defensive tackle.

Rogers didn't take the snubs lightly, as things escalated to the point where he asked to be released from his six-year, $42 million contract. To further his displeasure with the coach Rogers has been a no-show for the team's off-season workout program.

Despite these workouts being voluntary, it is expected for players to attend and participate, as many view these workout sessions as team building activities. Mangini has said that he expects the entire team to attend and while likely be offended by Rogers' absence.

Rogers is guaranteed a $5 million bonus this month, making the player's release unlikely, and should earn an additional $950,000 in likely-to-be-reached incentives when he's on the field. Mangini has since attempted to reach out to Rogers, but his absence this week makes it clear that there is still much work to be done to patch up the relationship.
