Judge rules Charles Rogers must repay Detroit Lions $6.1 million

One of the all time NFL busts Charles Rogers must repay the Lions $6.1 million of a $9.1 million signing bonus because of his 2005 suspension for substance abuse.

U.S. District Judge Julian Cook ruled in the Lions’ favor on Monday after a 45-minute court hearing in Detroit.

The Lions sued Rogers last September for failing to comply with a 2008 arbitrator’s ruling that he repay the money.

My guess is the the money is long gone by now.
