Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

[QUOTE=Skinsfanatic]Is it just me, or does anyone else want to keep Rod Gardner? I mean, he has his problems, but he has had some really good games, and if we have put up with his inconsistancy and he finally has his breakout year (he's been close before) for the Eagles, Giants or Cowboys I will be sick.[/QUOTE]

I think we might as well keep him as long as he'll actually show up. I just don't really see Mccants stepping up as the chain mover and Gardner has always been good for a couple trick plays a year throwing the ball.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

it is. griffin got shafted, and even though a.p. plays for the gints now, he got shafted too. shawn springs got shafted also. most of our defense didn't get the credit they deserve. i hate the eagles as a team, but i like donovan mcnabb as a player. he is one of the better qb's in the game, and he deserves the respect he gets.

If it wasn't an issue of money, then sure, keep Gardner. However, Gardner believes he is worth more than what he actually is worth in the eyes of most NFL teams (including the Redskins apparently,) so there is really no way for us to keep Gardner.

I'd like to keep him for this year too. I think McCants is capable of being a chain mover, but I also think Gardner would be better than all but one of hte recivers on our team now. Plus its a contract year, so I think he is going to have a big season. We need the money, so I dont really have a big gripe on the issue, but I think it'd be nice if he stayed.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

Gardner has given us 1 good year and 3 mediocre ones. Time to move on, we need the cap space more than we need him.

[QUOTE=JWsleep](Don't quite know how this got to be an iggles thread...)

Anyone we might pick up? Gibbs is always talking about upgrading, and being a place where folks can suceed if they work hard, etc. so I wouldn't be surprised to see a pickup.

Also, how does the rookie cap work with the regular cap? Is all our cap space really going to the rookies? This is obviously a question for Canuck, or any other of y'all capologists.[/QUOTE]

The rookie cap, as I understand it, is part of the total cap. And in the Redskins' case they have $4.037 million dollars max to spend on their six draft picks. Rogers is slotted to get $1.8 million and Campbell $1 million

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

TO leaves garcia, garcia bombs, he joins mcnabb, mcnabb booms... not saying thats the only reason (garcia moved to a shithole team with a bad coach etc) but its definatly part of it...

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

I agree, like I said before, it's a crazy correlation. We'll see how Moss makes Collins look next year.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

Gardner will be a good pickup for a different team. He just doesn't fit with the Joe Gibbs offense. Joe requires a high level of precision. Gardner drops half his passes. In a quick strike offense (Rams, Chiefs) Gardner could do well. In a grind it out, burn up the clock offense, he is a drive ender.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

Honestly, I don't think he'd even fit into the Rams or Chiefs O. He's got to CATCH passes first before he can run with them.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

it's 410pm here in the east,is'nt it time for them to announce the cuts?

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

I heard that cuts are to be made AFTER June 1st, so maybe tomorrow...

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]I've followed McNabb since his SU days so even though he's a rival, I'm still a fan.

I'm getting tired of people saying how overrated he is. He took his game to another level last year, his numbers were through the roof. He also took care of his accuracy problems hitting on 64%. Only 8 ints during the regular season, that's sick.[/QUOTE]

I couldn't agree more Matty. As much as I hate to see McNabb excel for a division rival, the guy is a stud and it's funny how all of those naysayers shut up as soon as McNabb exploded once he got a decent wideout.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

Gardner will likely be signed by the Chargers, who could use a big guy like Rod and who are coached by the guy who drafted him.

Re: June 1: Cuts are looming
 

Gardner had his shot....didn't perform.....adios............

Did anyone see on ESPN Sports Center, the Chefs are looking at Freddie Mitchell.......they can have him ..... I'm amazed that Vermeil is willing to put up with that jerk......
