Rogers, the ninth overall draft pick by Washington in 2005, has sought a trade for weeks, and he bristled when a first-round tender was placed on him, hoping to garner an offer sheet. However, Rogers flew to Washington this week from his Atlanta home to discuss the situation with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, and the meeting went well, according to sources.

I wanted to personally apologize to our members and visitors for the news posted earlier today here on GridironFans.com about the Eagles trading Donovan McNabb to the 49ers. Unfortunately we were one of many others who were taken in by the false news report today.

By the time we were able to catch the story that was posted as a hoax, it was too late. The story had made it's rounds and was exposed as nothing more than an elaborate rouse that caught one of our news reporters off guard. Here is a screenshot of the original website that has since been taken down showing the story:

We here at GridironFans.com pride ourselves in scouring the internet and bringing you all the news around the NFL as quickly as possible. A perfect storm of circumstances though allowed this story to be posted and stay posted longer than it should have. One of our news reporters saw the "story" right when he was about to leave work and he posted the story in haste. This unfortunately led to the story staying up on our site way longer than it should have and having the story go out via Twitter, our RSS feed as well as being posted on numerous other sites like Yardbarker.com and BallHype.com as news. The damage was done by the time an administrator on the site was able to react and delete the story. Let me assure you that this was nothing more than an honest mistake by one of our reporters and I hope this one mistake doesn't shake your faith in us to bring you the latest NFL news.

We have made it a point to reiterate to our reporters that every and any news post that is put up needs to be verified before posting. I know people will read this and think "well, that should have been the policy ALL THE TIME." I want to assure you that verifying the news is standard procedure here at GridironFans.com but circumstances today led to this false story being posted. We aren't the first website to be taken in by a false report and we won't be the last. Unfortunately for us it was our turn in the crosshairs. I hope that in time we can redeem ourselves in the eyes of readers who were upset over the report. Thank you for taking the time out to read this and hearing us out.

Sincerely,
Steve Marin

Redskins running back Clinton Portis visited a concussion specialist in Pittsburgh last week and was cleared to begin offseason activities with the team, according to a source, but the team hopes to sign Johnson. The ex-Chiefs and Bengals running back also has scheduled a Monday visit with the Raiders, according to a league source.
