Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

I'm happy and satisfied with what the Redskins have at wide receiver. Terrence Austin, Anthony Armstrong, Niles Paul, Santana Moss, Leonard Hankerson, Josh Morgan, Jabar Gaffney, and Pierre Garcon could all start. And then there's little Brandon Banks returning kickoffs and punts.

Terrence Austin appears to be the odd man out. Despite a limited role in the offense, Austin has done a nice job whenever his number has been called. Gaffney could get the ax as well but he's should be considered a front runner because of his productivity from last season.

Listening to ESPN980 right now and it sounds like Jabar Gaffney is goner

Either traded before the draft or released

as per Chris Russell

^ Good. More room for everyone else.

As just heard on [URL="https://twitter.com/#%21/ESPNRadio980"]@[B]ESPNRadio980[/B][/URL], Jabar Gaffney has told me that he was told [URL="https://twitter.com/#%21/search/%23Redskins"]#[B]Redskins[/B][/URL] are trying to trade him."They are trying to trade me."
[/quote]Good. I figured it would come down to Moss OR Gaffney and I've preferred that Moss stay.


This might allow Austin or Banks to stay.


Garcon
Moss
Hankerson
Morgan
Paul
Austin or Armstrong
Banks or Robinson

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

No surprise on Gaffney. Had mentioned it a couple of times before. Don't know what, if anything, we could get for him though

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

I don't think he'd command much on the market. Shame if we don't keep him though. I don't see this as good news for Banks. I think he's gone no matter what.

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

Yeah, I'd totally be good with Banks walking.

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

I just don't see the Redskins waiving Gaffney. I mean, they very well could. But the guy is a veteran WR and was the most productive wide out from last season. I'm looking for huge things from Pierre Garcon and Leonard Hankerson. Niles Paul didn't figure into the team's passing game that much last season, but maybe Paul will have a lot more passes thrown his way this year. Moss isn't going anywhere. He's the Redskins slot receiver and will be called upon to start of Garcon or Hankerson gets injured. Josh Morgan will definitely be in the mix. Brandon Banks, the Redskins could probably live without. Anthony Armstrong could very well make the team for a third straight season, but Terrence Austin could beat him out for a roster spot. Banks, I agree could be waived. But if he blasts his way for a TD on a punt or kick off return during preseason, look for him to stay put.

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

Patriots are (were?) eager to bring Gaffney back. Though they'll probably just wait to see if he's cut.

Would be kind of funny to see Stallworth and Gaffney back in NE

I've kinda thought we'd either have Moss or Gaffney this year, not both.

Looks like Moss probably...

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

Maybe the Eagles can tell us how they convinced the Pats to give them a fifth rounder for Greg Lewis, so we can ask for a 4th or 5th rounder for Gaffney. Lewis was 30 at the time and did not have anywhere near the productivity that Gaffney had last season.

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

i like the idea of trading him and possibly picking up a pick, but if there is no interest from him why dont we keep him around for camp and see what happens instead of just dumping him now? whats the advantage of that?

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

Gaffney is still relatively young and can contribute in this league, there's no question about that. I have mixed feelings about letting Moss walk though. That guy is a true Redskin.
