49ers CB Carlos Rogers is "told (he's a) starter," but expects Nnamdi Asomugha to have a "big role."
Asomugha was expected to push Rogers opposite Tarell Brown, but Rogers remains penciled in for now. CSN Bay Area called Rogers a "lock" for a roster spot earlier this month, while estimating Asomugha was "50-50." Asomugha has to prove he's not done before competing for a starting job.

CSN Bay Area considers CB Carlos Rogers a "lock" to stay on the 49ers' 53-man roster.

Rogers was considered a potential cap casualty when the offseason began, but the 49ers guaranteed $1.25 million of his $5.85 million base salary and will almost certainly move forward with him as a starter. RCB Tarell Brown is considered the other "lock," with Chris Culliver and Tramaine Brock "looking good." Nnamdi Asomugha and Perrish Cox are considered "50-50" to make the team.

Updating an earlier item, just $1.25 million of Carlos Rogers' $5.85 million salary became guaranteed by remaining on the roster through April 1.

It was previously believed all of Rogers' salary became guaranteed on Monday, but just 21.2 percent of it did. It should still go a long way toward securing Rogers' roster spot following the signing of Nnamdi Asomugha, but Rogers could be approached about a pay-cut before Week 1.
Apr 3 - 5:33 PM

49ers CB Carlos Rogers' $5.5 million base salary became fully guaranteed when he was kept on San Francisco's roster through April 1.

The fact first appeared on the SB Nation blog Niners Nation and has since been confirmed by Joel Corry of the National Football Post. The signing of Nnamdi Asomugha is no threat to Rogers' roster spot. He'll also collect $350,000 in offseason bonuses. Rogers turns 32 in July. His play has slipped off a career year in 2011, but Rogers remains a solid and versatile cover corner.
Apr 2 - 11:42 PM

49ers signed CB Carlos Rogers to a four-year, $29.3 million contract.

It's a surprising move after the 49ers took a flier on former Bronco Perrish Cox Tuesday, but hardly shocking after Rogers had a career year at age 30 last season. The 49ers will now officially return all 11 2011 defensive starters in 2012, and sport one of the league's deeper secondaries. The cornerback market is now barren barely six hours after the start of free agency.

ESPN 101 St. Louis' Howard Balzer is "hearing" the Rams plan to target free agent CB Carlos Rogers.

Coming off a career year at age 30, Rogers is believed to be seeking a four- to five-year deal worst at least $5 million annually. Capable of playing both outside and in the slot, he'd slot nicely into a secondary the Rams desperately need to improve.

The 49ers are expected to let the market set the value for free agent CB Carlos Rogers.

Coming off his best NFL season, the 30-year-old is believed to be seeking a four- to five-year deal presumably at more than $5 million per season. If he can't find a team to show him the money, there's a good chance he will return to San Francisco.

Free agent CB Carlos Rogers is seeking a four- to five-year deal.

If Rogers is adamant about a four- to five-year pact, it could greatly reduce his chances of returning to San Francisco. Rogers will turn 31 in July, and the 49ers already have two potential replacements on the roster in Chris Culliver and Tramaine Brock. Free agent FS Dashon Goldson is a more likely candidate for the franchise tag than Rogers.

CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco believes free agent FS Dashon Goldson is "clearly" a more likely 49ers franchise tag candidate than free agent CB Carlos Rogers.

Per Maiocco, the 49ers "obviously" would like to lock up both defensive backs for the long term, but the safety tag is $6.2 million compared to $10.6 million for a corner, and San Francisco has no in-house replacement for Goldson. They have Chris Culliver, Tarell Brown, and Tramaine Brock at cornerback. Rogers appears headed for the open market if no deal is reached before March 13.
Fri, Jan 27, 2012 03:42:00 PM

Free agent CB Carlos Rogers said Monday that he hopes to re-sign with the 49ers before free agency opens on March 13.

The feeling is mutual, although beat reporter Matt Maiocco says the Niners only want Rogers back "at the right price." Rogers turns 31 before next season, so the franchise tag could be a logical compromise if the sides don't reach a long-term agreement. Teams can begin applying franchise tags beginning on February 20. This year's franchise tag deadline is March 5.

49ers CB Carlos Rogers has given his agent the go-ahead to start negotiations on a long-term contract.

"I want to be here," said Rogers. "This has been great for me, and I would love to get something worked out for five, six years." The 49ers should be interested as well. Through seven weeks, Rogers grades out as Pro Football Focus' second-rated cornerback behind only Darrelle Revis.

49ers CB Carlos Rogers already has a career-high three interceptions through five games.

Rogers has a pick in back-to-back-to-back games, and in Sunday's win brought back a Josh Freeman interception 31 yards for a touchdown. "They can keep saying I ain't got no hands and I can't do it," said Rogers. "It's just motivation." DBs coach Ed Donatell is having the 49ers' cornerbacks stay after practice on Thursdays to work on catching the ball. Rogers was known for his stone hands in Washington, but he's turned a corner as a Niner.

49ers signed CB Carlos Rogers, formerly of the Redskins, to a one-year contract.

The most glaring need on the Niners finally gets filled. Rogers, 30, will immediately slide in as a starter on the right side opposite Shawntae Spencer and kick Tarell Brown into a nickel role. Although Rogers is far from a shutdown corner, he was clearly the best player left at his position and has 68 career starts under his belt.

Free agent CB Carlos Rogers is visiting the 49ers Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Rogers is widely considered the best cornerback available after the initial wave of free agent signings. He would push Tarell Brown back into a nickelback role if signed.
Tue, Aug 2, 2011 10:01:00 PM

The 49ers have shown interest in free agent CB Carlos Rogers, a source tells beat writer Matt Barrows.

The Niners have been snubbed by the likes of Nnamdi Asomugha and Plaxico Burress already in free agency. Now we'll see if they can get second-tier guys to sign on. Despite turning 30 last month, Rogers would be an upgrade on Tarell Brown.
