Production is the key, not size.

Agreed, and if anybody really thinks we NEED a big WR, we have one in McCants. Gardner is completely useless at this point.

My solution: Keyshawn him ala John Gruden. Don't cut him and let him re-sign with another team, don't trade him for essentially nothing, just tell him to stay home. Send a message.

Of course I would support cutting him if we can actually use his cap space to sign someone else........but I don't see us needing it right now.

We need his cap space to sign our rookies, which include two first-rounders. We could make room by cutting Barrow, Hall, Morton, or Gardner after June 1.

I think you can take it to the bank that Gibbs will cut Gardner after June 1. He's not all about screwing players over to send a message. He likes to let them go on to find other jobs, and do what's best for their careers. When he does that, it shows the players still on the team that Joe Gibbs is a man of his word and he's going to be honest and respectful, and treat you like a man. That goes a long way in gaining respect in the locker room, it's one of the biggest ways that Gibbs is able to unify the team so well.

He won't keep Gardner against his wishes. He'll cut him, take the cap room, and let Rod go do what he wants to do.
