Redskins release WR Andre Roberts

He's not worth the money he's being paid and shaving 8mil off the cap when that money can go to better use is always better. You don't overpay people just for the sake of overpaying. You can roll over any unused salary cap.

imo I think its a fair price to garcon...maybe a 1 million or 1.5 over pay. I think the process of trying to replace him, chemistry, etc. maybe wouldn't be worth it. I think he does a good job

How much salary cap space is there now ?

He might be overpaid but he contributes to the team. Letting him go creates a unnecessary hole for no reason other than to save cap room. And who are you going to pick up with that cap room this late in FA/trade? It's not like there's a bunch of great players on the market right now. I am sure if there is a player McC or Gruden wants right now they have the financial flexibility to make it happen.

Garçon isn't going anywhere. The coaches love him on and off the field.

Unless there's a dire need for the cap
space (there isn't) cutting him makes no sense.

As do I. The dude makes the hard catches and sets a great example. He had a couple of Tds last year where he got obliterated after the catch and hung on. He's not that far removed from a 113 catch season, for crying out loud. Let's not peg Doctson his successor just yet - the guy hasn't played an NFL snap.

There is no reason to cut Garcon. Am I the only one here who thinks that Garcon is a quality NFL receiver who was worth his FA contract? If that's not a good enough reason, then why would you want to dismantle the WR depth we've built?



No, you're not the only one.

Need to keep Garcon because Jackson will go down in week three with a pulled fukmuscle or some such malady.

Malady? Don't know why that word made me laugh. Reminds me of this:

Looking at the salary cap numbers, does anybody else think they'll be cutting Garcon sometime in training camp as well? Would shave off 8mil on the salary cap.
