Gibbs Skeptical that Gardner Will Return

It's not as easy saying Gardner wasn't dealt simply because the Skins wouldn't settle for less than a 3rd round pick, Gardner is looking for a contract extension as well and that definitely threw a wrench in the works.

Probably a smart move by Gardner when you think about it. He'll likely be released and then he can control where he goes.

It's tough to trade a middle of the road player especially when he only has 1 year left on his current deal, and on top of that the likelihood he'll be released outright is so great.
