How will Gardner's situation pan out?

Mid training camp, Bugel gets hungry and trades Gardner for a ham sandwich.

Since I assume that you want the Skins to get a quality DE to fill that glaring weakness, the Skins would have to give up something valuable to get that quality DE.

In your scenario, you offer up Gardner - who was not worth a low round draft pick on draft day plus a back-up RB who has been injured in each and every one of his NFL seasons. NOt a lot of "value" there.

Now, what quality OL are you going to toss into that package to get a quality DE? Jansen? Thomas? Samuels? If you mention one of the myriad back-ups on the roster at the moment, you will get a DE in return who is similarly an injury prone back-up whose concentration and mental focus on the game is in doubt.

In a trade, you have to give to get...

I agree. But you could pick another running back other then Betts who has a upside. But the main part of my theoary is based on what another team needs. If they wait thru camp the likelhood of a inlury to a star Wideout is pretty high. Happens every year and it becomes a need. So wait till the fools market opens up and a trade of lower quality player along with Gardner, who has had some drops but is primarly a possition reciever or a better fit in the West Coast. So my scenario has merit but we really will not know till the axe falls. NEver know he could play for us again.
