How will Gardner's situation pan out?

Any chance that the Skins are trying to squeeze Gardner since he made it hard to trade during the draft?

Please tell me you didn't just say "I don't think O-Line depth is a problem" and then proceeded to list Friedman, Raymer, Brown, Molinaro and Wilson. Molinaro and Wilson are huge question marks. Freidman and Raymer stink. Brown has maybe a year or 2 of serviceability left in his tank at most. He is not a dominating force anymore...just a good backup. Gardener is better than Thrash or McCants. He will go to training camp and stay for the year and test the market next year.
