This is welcome news to Niners fans, as earlier in the day ESPN's Howard Balzar had reported rumblings that the St. Louis Rams would pursue Rogers, and many took this as evidence that the team was preparing for that eventual departure by signing free agent cornerback Perrish Cox. Cox will make his return to the NFL after sitting out of 2011 while on trial for sexual assault.
