do we show our hand to soon (Barrow allowed to seek trade)

[Redskins8588]

First thing, I do remember reading that Gardner did want an extension from which ever team he went to and this was stalling any trade. But what I do not understand is how can Gardner have any demands as such if he is still under contract to us? When we would trade him wouldn't is basicly be his contract to the other team for what ever pick or player in return?

As for Barrow, there was nothing our Front office could do about that, I mean like many posted he was a very good player that had the bad luck bug bite him last season. So if Barrow would like to try to get to another team then so be it...

But I do want to say that the Gardner thing is about the only thing that the front office did this offseason that made me scratch my head. Many complain about the so called crappy offseason that we had, but I dont see it. Look, we brought in needed help at center, we signed a vet reciever that has tons of experience. We let go a 2nd round corner only to replace him with a first round corner. And we traded an injured reciever for a healthy reciever. Plus we drafted help for our linebackers and for special teams. Most importantly we kept the same staff for another season. All in all, I personally think that we had a pretty good offseason...
