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 LB 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.

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.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers re-signed with the club by inking a four-year deal worth $31.3 million on Tuesday.

Yahoo's Jason Cole reports free agent CB Carlos Rogers is on the verge of re-signing with the 49ers.

A length isn't available, but Cole reports the deal will average $7.3 million annually. Rogers was believed to be seeking a four- to five-year pact. The move is surprising after the 49ers took a flier on former Bronco Perrish Cox Tuesday, but hardly shocking after Rogers had a career year at age 30 in 2011. 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.
