Skinsrock:

Put yourself in the position of the GM for the Ravens.

You can sign McCants to the contract you negotiate with him which is obviously to your liking and give up a 5th round pick - - - OR - - -

You can give up a 3rd round pick and take Gardner with whatever contract he signed with the skins previously.

Which would you do if you were the Ravens' GM? That's why trading Gardner there ain't gonna happen. By the way, if I had to pick either Gardner or McCants in a draft and give up nothing to get either one, I'd probably take McCants. It would be close...

Redskins8588:

Do yourself a favor and believe NOTHING on redskins.com except for statistical data such as where so-and-so went to school or what is the date of birth for Joe Flabeetz. The rest of the stuff there just spin control pumped out by the Skins' PR Department. If Adolf Hitler played for the Redskins, they'd tell you he is merely a tough competitor who likes to run roughshod over his competition.

The ONLY time you will hear anything negative about a Skins' player from the PR Department is when they are beginning to set the stage to release a player or not to re-sign him in the off-season. Remember Brian Mitchell? About six weeks before the Skins' decided to let him go, there were strange whispers about him being a "locker room problem" and an "abrasive personality" and that he had "lost a step". Amazing...
