Not me. You're acting like that Garcon and Djax are our only two weapons. In which case, I might agree with you. However, that's not the case. We have Davis, Reed, Doctson and Crowder. Just because I would rather carry over that unused cap doesn't make me ignorant to football, injuries or depth. It's a gamble. One I'd be willing to take. Because come next year, you might just be hating it if KC blows up. Then you'll be wanting that cap to help gobble up some of that 60+mil guaranteed he'll command.


For the record, I'm not suggesting we do cut him, just it very well could be an option for the Redskins come the end of training camp. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

The only way carrying over Garcon's cap space makes any sense at all is if you think we'll have to cut a valuable player next year in order to make room for Cousins's contract.

And if you think we need to make such a cut, then you haven't looked at our cap situation next year.

It's more of the notion if the emergence of Doctson/Crowder make him expendable. I like Garcon, but I'm a numbers kind of guy. I think salary caps eventually come to bite teams in the ass, especially if they have QBs who hamper their cap. The Ravens and Saints were at the mercy of their QBs because of the shit contracts they signed with made for bloated cap figures later on causing them to have to restructure them, which in turn gives them more money and kicks that cap can down the road. I don't want this team in that situation when we have a good core together.

I think Garcon's talent will have to be head and shoulders above Doctson/Crowder to justify a 10mil cap. Players have been cut for much much less. I'm fine either way to be honest with you. I have no qualms with keeping or cutting Garcon. To me, he's just too inconsistent for it to matter to me. The fact that DJ can't stay healthy will most likely make this a moot point anyway.

I kind of stopped reading at the first sentence. If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he hops.

I'm not interested in taking a chance on depth at WR when we don't need Garcon's cap space carrying over into 2017.

I did say it was a gamble.
