New York Giants defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was probably not expecting to pay $500K for a wild night with a woman he brought back to the Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach over the weekend. Rogers claims one night of fun with a groupie led to $500K in jewelry theft.

According to a local news report, Rogers and some friends left the hotel room to hit the clubs and returned to the hotel with a woman at 7 a.m. Rogers placed the jewelry in the hotel safe but, when he awoke at 12:30 p.m., both the jewelry and the woman were gone. Among the missing items were diamond earrings worth $100,000; two wristwatches worth a combined $160,000; a gold necklace with gold pendant worth $50,000; gold bracelets worth $60,000; and a diamond Cuban necklace with a gold pendant worth $70,000.

Rogers’ bad investments will land him among the names of many African-American athletes who are bankrupt shortly after retirement from the league. Rogers, 34, spent last season on injured reserve and signed another veteran minimum contract with the Giants on Feb. 7. Rogers earned $990,000 from the Giants last season. If he stays healthy, he can earn $1.005 million this year. Like most of the bogus contracts African-American athletes sign, the only portion of Rogers’ contract that was guaranteed is a measly $20,000 signing bonus. Rogers could earn $45,000 if he meets a weight clause. Rogers’ base salary is scheduled to be $940,000, but unlike last year, the Giants included a “split” that would pay him a reduced rate ($433,000) if he is placed on injured reserve.

Do you believe the groupie should be convicted if caught? Or should Rogers accept this as a hard lesson learned?
