Wouldn't you be?

Well DJax did get over 1000 yards. That's a damn good season no matter how you slice it.

Garcon I get though, there were times I'd forget he was even out there... He had 105 targets this season, which averages out to about 6 per game (even though I think that's a generous number). Way down from his 11 per game average last season.

DJax... Only had 94. TOTAL. And still put up over 1000+ yards.

Looking at other NFC East duos

Maclin - 143 targets
Matthews - 105

ODB - 132
Randal - 127

Dez - 138
Witten (highest targets besides Dez) - 90


Looking at the targets, you'd think Garcon was the #1 but put up nowhere near the same amount of yards as say.. Jordan Matthews... Garcon (752 yards 3 TDs) Matthews (872 yards 8 TDs).

So long story short... Yeah... Kinda feeling for ol Pierre.

I really like Garcon. He doesn't take plays off. He puts 100% effort into pass plays and run plays. Blocks like a boss.

I hope we can keep him, but the reality of the cap and his contract will hit hard this off season I'm afraid.

And how exactly would that be hard to keep Garcon??

His base salary next year is 7.1 mil with a cap hit of 9.7 mil. We are going into the off season with considerably less cap room than we expected and compared to most other teams.

There are so many other units that need significant upgrades.

As alluded to by other posters, he might not want to come back given the uncertainty of the QB situation.

I hope he stays. I'm a huge fan. I would be very disappointed if he wasn't a Redskin next year but not surprised.

They'll just restructure him if they need space. He doesn't have a choice in coming back or not.

Sometimes ignorance isn't bliss. Sometimes it's worrisome. Everything is good now.

schneed has us conservatively at 27-28 mil with expected cuts (bowen, porter, chester etc) while taking into account raises (kerrigan).

total cap at 140 mil but may be increased.

hopefully we have room to add a few starters then a bunch of JAGs.


some of the new posters may not have ventured to the Cap and Draft forums above this one.

Sounds like he and DJax should run from this franchise, the first chance they get.
