Gibbs Skeptical that Gardner Will Return

Morton is gone...
Brown is out in your scenario because usually we keep 5 recievers....
Morton maybe gone come June 1st, but as of now he is still on the team, and as for Brown I am willing to bet that he will be our main return man next year. I highly doubt that Gibbs will use Moss only because of the contract he just signed. Moss is going to be our new #1 wr. We may only carry 5 recievers but like I said I am willing to bet that Brown will be our return man.

If we catn get anythign for him dont cut him, hes cheap and has a ton of incentive to procduce this year. its his contract year and wants to get big money to go elsewhere.


I agree, I wouldn't reward him for being a no show when mandatory camp starts, I would start fining him the max every day he's out, and let him know we are content to allow him to sit the bench for the season driving his market value down from inactivity. He want's out then he does everything he can to see we can't recoupe so much as a 3rd rd draft pick, I would take the bull by the horns and in so doing send a message to anyone else who want's to play games.

So will it be Moss, Patten, Jacobs, Brown and Thrash with Gardener, McCants and all UDFA's cut? like I said...we usually keep 5 recievers...And I was asking about our roster after training camp

I still dont see us cutting McCants, but that is just me.

If things can't be smoothed over with Gardner just cut him and save the $2M.

This thing about needing a big WR is overrated anyway. What good did he do us the last few years??

Production is the key, not size.

Anyone think that Moss will be sharing return duties?

Agreed, and if anybody really thinks we NEED a big WR, we have one in McCants. Gardner is completely useless at this point.

My solution: Keyshawn him ala John Gruden. Don't cut him and let him re-sign with another team, don't trade him for essentially nothing, just tell him to stay home. Send a message.

Of course I would support cutting him if we can actually use his cap space to sign someone else........but I don't see us needing it right now.

I really doubt Gibbs would go for it unless it's a critical game or situation.

He's too fragile and too important to our WR corps to risk on returns.

We need his cap space to sign our rookies, which include two first-rounders. We could make room by cutting Barrow, Hall, Morton, or Gardner after June 1.

I think you can take it to the bank that Gibbs will cut Gardner after June 1. He's not all about screwing players over to send a message. He likes to let them go on to find other jobs, and do what's best for their careers. When he does that, it shows the players still on the team that Joe Gibbs is a man of his word and he's going to be honest and respectful, and treat you like a man. That goes a long way in gaining respect in the locker room, it's one of the biggest ways that Gibbs is able to unify the team so well.

He won't keep Gardner against his wishes. He'll cut him, take the cap room, and let Rod go do what he wants to do.

I say cut him, and move on. He doesn't want to be here so let him go. I definitely won't miss him.
