Ok, I agree that he's probably gone, but what about this:
This year was for Gardner's chance to prove himself in the "Monk posession receiver" role, and Gibbs knew he had McCants waiting in the wings if RG didn't perform up to par. Similar to how Gibbs used to keep young players on the IR list until he felt they were ready to play. Remember that DM was fairly inexperienced when he first came in, and came from a smaller college. My thought is that maybe Gibbs viewed him like he viewed Ramsey (early on)....too young for now, but given some time, he'll get a shot. I know it's probably not the case, but I thought I'd put it out there...
