Was their any discussion during the draft that a team would give a 4th rounder for him?
You are assuming, of course, that one of us was in the War Room?

No, I am assuming based on the things that I heard on the news that we were offered for him.

More importantly, the offers for a 4th rounder were contingent upon the idea he would renegotiate. He has shown no desire to do so, which made his trade difficult.

Ahhhhh, that's right. I couldn't remember why no deal was made, even after the WR market became unsaturated.

Maybe we could trade him and give the team our 4th round pic for taking him. Oh I forgot we don't have any draft picks.
I see this playing out as a package deal. Gardner and a RB(Betts) or a O-lineman for a DE. We still have never addressed this glaring weakness and we might be waiting for another teams injury for us to pounce on the trade oppurtunity.

Mid training camp, Bugel gets hungry and trades Gardner for a ham sandwich.

Since I assume that you want the Skins to get a quality DE to fill that glaring weakness, the Skins would have to give up something valuable to get that quality DE.
In your scenario, you offer up Gardner - who was not worth a low round draft pick on draft day plus a back-up RB who has been injured in each and every one of his NFL seasons. NOt a lot of "value" there.
Now, what quality OL are you going to toss into that package to get a quality DE? Jansen? Thomas? Samuels? If you mention one of the myriad back-ups on the roster at the moment, you will get a DE in return who is similarly an injury prone back-up whose concentration and mental focus on the game is in doubt.
In a trade, you have to give to get...
I agree. But you could pick another running back other then Betts who has a upside. But the main part of my theoary is based on what another team needs. If they wait thru camp the likelhood of a inlury to a star Wideout is pretty high. Happens every year and it becomes a need. So wait till the fools market opens up and a trade of lower quality player along with Gardner, who has had some drops but is primarly a possition reciever or a better fit in the West Coast. So my scenario has merit but we really will not know till the axe falls. NEver know he could play for us again.
