They are at least 2 yrs. away from contending, in any configuration you want to suggest. Blow it up and start fresh.

I think you are not calculating dead cap space in your equation.

Also, this is a business first off. If Danny and company just said F it and dropped every good player we had be tough to sell. The general public doesn't like to hear we are in a re-building stage; really puts some pressure on your marketing department.

Garcon, Morris, etc... they are the few stars we have folks want seem then and will pay to do so. You got at least maintain a level of hope that this might be a good team in 2015.

I agree, his release fee in 2015 is $4.4million. Not worth releasing him because we would still be on the hook cap wise. Next off season his release fee is only $2.2million.
Plus when Garcon has a capable QB throwing him the ball he is a great WR.
I would rather keep him at this time. Garcon is not the problem.
