Gibbs To Meet With Gardner Today

Matty - SOme receivers (Braylon Edwards, Gardner) seem to drop a lot of balls early. They're nervous, but the more they feel the ball the more the settle in and make big plays.

More times per game, not per career.

I know you meant per game not career, I was just being a wise ass.

My only hope for Gardner is playing for a big pay day may help improve his focus.

Big question will be - what if he has a big year. A Mushin Muhammad year?

Do we let him go?
Do we franchise and trade?
Do we resign?

With our cap situation if he has a Muhammad type year and wants that kind of $$, we'd likely have no choice but to let him go.

Can't we pay him league min with a production escalator clause?

Exactly. If we DID resign him to a huge contract though, we'd be doing what the Giants were willing to do for Pierce.

RedskinsRat, I don't speak that kind of langauge. You have to clarify. :)

If we could get some cap relief and no team is interested in a trade then I wouldn’t be surprised if Gibbs cuts him. Gibbs is really looking for Gibbs kind of players and he has made it really clear he will go to extremes to get them (Campbell) or get rid of them (Coles).

I wouldn't say Gardner isn't a Gibbs-kind-of-player, he just is a drop-the-ball-waaay-too-often kind of player.

Rod IS a "Gibbs type of player" Whatever that is. Everyone called Coles ones, and Gibbs throughout the year has taken on many players with questionable characters. So I think that whole phrase is pretty much bullshit.

Either way -- Rod Gardner stayed after practice to work on his hands/routes, he worked hard the whole time he was at Redskins park, so if anything he is a Gibbs type of player.
