Re: June 1st Cuts.
 

Say Gardner does get it together this year, you all think we'll shop him or resign him?

Re: June 1st Cuts.
 

I see no reason why they wouldn't try adnf resign him if he steps it up and becomes a valuable part fo the receiving corp. I would think with the way they ahve tried to tear him he would eb amenable too.

Re: June 1st Cuts.
 

It would be nice if he could finally get it together. I'm just worried because he's had ENOUGH time to get it together. Good thing is, we set a precedent with Smoot/Pierce so that Gardner would know we won't overpay him.

Well, I think the resigning part would have to come first, but to truly see if Gardner can rekindle the magic of his rookie season, we would have to see him for the whole season. Maybe to sign him with a one year league minimum deal....that's better than sittin on your rump watchin' football. This could be his year to say I am going to prove all these teams including the Redskins that I come to play...maybe by season's end the Redskins will have a change of heart, but thinking in more terms of a realist, he's probably gonna get cut.

Re: June 1st Cuts.
 

That would be a shame. I would think that since he has something to prove, they might try to fit him into the offense.

June Cuts
 

All this talk about Gardiner's future makes me wonder who will we be cutting after June 1st.

Gardiner would save us 2.7 million, which I think is the #1 reason for why we should cut him. If Michael Barrow's knee doesn't progress, he would be another cut, which would save us an additional 2.1 million. Finally, both Cory Raymer and Chad Morton could be on their way out - each saving us about a million.

The total for these four cuts would be around 7 million, which would leave us with 8 million or so in cap space for this season.

That money could be used to resign Santana Moss (to a reasonable contract - please God, just this once, lets not overpay for a guy); our rookies; and possibly fill holes at DE and WR with other June cuts.

Good Call!

Re: June Cuts
 

Crap - I just heard we won't cut Gardiner.

That blows. I think he is so inconsistent and is taking time away from younger guys who can catch over 50% of the balls that hit them in the hands.

Re: June 1st Cuts.
 

wonder if the lions would trade haz hakim to the skins straight up for gardner?

Re: June Cuts
 

personally i think that morton,john hall,mccants,barrow,and hasselback are all gone.
hall is the only one 50/50!

Where did you hear that? I hope it's true. Were going to need him. Unfortunatley he's are only big WR. :mad:

[QUOTE=drew54]I think Sellers stays. He is a special team stand out, and Gibbs knows we need help there.[/QUOTE]
Before the draft, I'd agree with you, but it seems to me that we just drafted not one, but two replacements for Sellers......maybe one too many penalties for coach Joe?

Well, I think they resigned Sellers for a couple more years ( i could be wrong). Maybe Gibbs wants to expand his role this year?

Re: June Cuts
 

So if Gardner stays will he be # 2 as of now? I dont think moss is any more reliable. To me Thrash is our best receiver, and then Jacobs.

Re: June Cuts
 

I heard on Sports Talk 980 that we are planning on keeping Gardiner.
