Shaun Rogers Arrested at Cleveland Hopkins Airport

Updated: 9:43 am April 2nd, 2010.

Cleveland Browns Nose Tackle Shaun Rogers weighs in excess of 350 pounds, but apparently his brain power can best be weighed in ounces.

Rogers was arrested on Thursday afternoon around 12:30 at Cleveland Hopkins Airport for trying to board a plane while carrying a loaded gun in his carry on bag. Rogers told authorities that he "Forgot that the gun was in there." Rogers was heading back to his home in Houston, Texas after the Browns finished off season workouts on Thursday.

Sgt. Sammy Morris of the Cleveland Police Department said Rogers was being held in the city's jail Thursday night and the situation would be evaluated on Friday.

Has he not realized that since 9/11 people can no longer carry shampoo onto an airplane, let alone a loaded gun?

Shortly after the arrest, Browns President Mike Holmgren released the following statement to the media:

"We will continue to gather additional information, and until the legal process has taken its course, we will reserve any further comment."

Rogers' name has surfaced in many trade rumors recently as Holmgren and Browns General Manager Tom Heckert have been reshaping their roster since their arrval in Cleveland. Its highly possible that he is suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, thus ruining any chance at a decent return for the Browns if they were to shop him to other teams.

Details of the arrest are still being gathered by reporters, but I think its safe to say that somewhere Gilbert Arenas is smiling, because he is no longer the stupidest athlete known to man.
