Gardner Good as Gone

Matty:

If history is any indicator, we'll have some idea that Smoot is on his way out when we start to hear/read stories by local journalists saying that Smoot was a "problem in the clubhouse" or was "not open to coaching" or "stubborn" or things like that. The Redskins FO/PR Dept has a history of leaking those kinds of things about players just prior to them "leaving town". The most blatant example of that was Brian Mitchell.

So, keep your eyes open and your ears tuned...

Getting Coles was like drafting him. That's why I'm not against getting RFA. You use your first rounder on a player that has already established they can play in the NFL.

I hope we get something for him. I hate for the same thing that happened with Trotter happen with Gardner. I would love to see us do something like we did with Bryan Johnson. Or something unorthidox, like him as a part of a multi team trade or something.
