Re: Let's face it. Our WRs are set...

This has probably been addressed somewhere in this thread, I'm just too lazy to look for it, but what about Rod Gardner?

I know the plan is to trade him, but let's just say they don't. Suppose they don't get the right offer and decide ultimately to just hold onto him. Do you bury him at the bottom of the depth chart and just let him walk next offseason? Do you make him a #1 or 2 and showcase his value possibly for a midseason trade? Clearly you wouldn't draft a receiver then, right?

And lest you think it's a lock that RG won't be here come September, from Saturday's Washington Post:

"This week, Coach Joe Gibbs said Washington is willing to keep Gardner if the club isn't satisfied with the return. And according to sources familiar with the situation, Gardner hasn't yet been dealt partly because Washington has been choosy about offers."

I say if they can't find a decent #3 pick then he should be allowed to compete for a starting job just like everyone else. I definitely wouldn't bury him on the depth chart.

Actually I'd be kinda interested to see how Gardner plays in a contract year.

How he would play? Does the last 4 seasons remind you of anything?

If he's playing for a big money contract who knows, maybe he would hold on to some of those drops. You never know how a guy will play when he's playing for a big payraise. Some guys have career years.

The bottom line is TRUE LONGTIME REDSKINS FANS like myself don't want garbage like Rod Gardner on the team.

When was the last time he broke a tackle for a long gain? Not this past season.

wow, sorry I wasn't aware I was in the presence of a TRUE LONGTIME REDSKINS FAN.

I guess if I'm considering the possibilities of what happens if we can't find good value for him in a trade I'm not quite on the same level as a TRUE LONGTIME REDSKINS FAN.

LOL
