Rogers, who played last season for Buffalo, was unavailable for comment Tuesday through the Dolphins’ media relations department Agent Everette Scott didn’t return a call seeking comment. Coming on the heels of off-field problems with RBs Lawrence Phillips and Cecil Collins under ex-coach Jimmy Johnson, Dolphins President Eddie Jones and coach Dave Wannstedt said in April 2000 that the team would shy from drafting players with character issues.
