Accused of Scamming NFL Star

Ex-NFL star Rodney Peete is being sued for allegedly running a scam on ex-NFL Pro Bowl cornerback Carlos Rogers in a failed plot to keep the Raiders from moving to Las Vegas.

It's all in court docs obtained by TMZ Sports ... in which 37-year-old Rogers -- who played for the Redskins, 49ers and Raiders -- says Peete approached him in 2016 to invest in a group that would provide financing for football facilities that would help sway the Raiders to stay in NorCal.

In his lawsuit, Rogers says Peete provided him with a real investment plan that looked solid -- and if the Raiders decided to move to Vegas, he was promised he'd get his investment back in full.
