By calling this a good signing, I don't think anyone is saying "Wohooo!! Superbowl here we come!!" More like "Cool, solid guy, looks like he can help and is a younger alternative to, and possible improvement on, Moss."

You're right though. The first announcement should have been that we traded our next three first round picks for Revis Island.

Pretty sure he was talking about Britt.

Really? What would make you think our only weapon Garcon will be cut in a year? If that comes off a certain way its not im just curious.

Hes an upgrade over Aldrick... Depth signing...

[That Guy]

roberts is a solid signing. i doubt it's more than 3-4mill guaranteed, so it's low risk.

[That Guy]

and anyone that thinks garcon is getting cut next year is some kind of crazy. unless you're planning on lead-piping his knee or some such.

Or understand how backloaded deals affect the cap.

There's a new coaching staff, who isn't going to hold onto a player just to hold onto a player. If you can get the same production for half the price, they'll do it.

Yeah this is just another guy imo

yeah, its more cap related than performance related. Gruden is a fan, if Garcon plays well, you can always iron out a backloaded deal.

His deal isn't a cap killer, nor is it a backloaded deal in the sense of skyrocketing cap charges. His base salary, dead cap and cap savings per year of his deal is :
Year
2012 $2,100,000 $13,100,000 ($8,400,000)
2013 $5,600,000 $8,800,000 ($615,625)
2014 $7,100,000 $6,600,000 $3,100,000
2015 $7,100,000 $4,400,000 $5,300,000
2016 $7,600,000 $2,200,000 $8,000,000

That's a consistent base salary, which indicates a team is looking to count on him, and not be forced into a decision based on outrageous base or cap numbers.

Can save $5.3 million to release or $7.5 million with a post June 1 designation.

$5 MM AAV can get you a better receiver than Garcon on the open market in most years. Plus: they're going to draft someone from a loaded WR class who is going to need someone to get released from the rotation in order to get increased reps.

It's a no brainer.

Glad you are not in FO Gtripp. I am going to walk away. have a great day.

If Gruden is a fan. Gruden came from Cincinnati, where he had AJ Green, Marvin Jones, Mohammad Sanu, and Andrew Hawkins. He's going to try to put something similar together here, and that gets a lot easier when Garcon isn't hogging $9 million on the cap.

He's a necessary part of this year's roster, so I'm not suggesting that Gruden can't wait to get Garcon out of town. I just think the offense is going to be Jordan Reed-centric because...well, obviously.

[Chico23231]

Well if Gruden continues to be a fan. He's stated he showed film of Garcon to his receivers and has stated such.
