Well, we've been through this discussion in 3 previous threads, and I still maintain the same thing I have since his name first came up. Gardner and a pick!! Good for us, and they will probably bite. I've heard how they would never want Gardner, we can't give up Gardner, Gardner should be enough, and even that we don't have cap room. None of those are on target. Now I hear we should just offer a draft pick. Well, they won't return the call on that one. Wannstadt wants help NOW. His job is on the line this year. No one is going to give a top WR, so they would be interested in Gardner. Betts could be a throw-in, but it will still require a pick to even it out. I still think (as I have maintained in the other threads):

1. We have a great shot with this type of offer

2. The trade will release room under the cap

3. We NEED a quality pass rusher (not ONE expert will argue this one!)

4. We can afford Gardner, because he will be catching splinters by week 4 if not before the season starts.

5. We may lose out to another team's offer, but don't be surprised if we get him!!
