So what if Gardner DOES stay?

I believe they will settle for a 4th rounder on draft day. He has been way too inconsistent.

Let him have the one year, at a low cap cost to do his best for the big dollars. Can this really hurt us?

YES. Unless you like 4th-tier talent being the so-called #1 receiver.

Monk-Fan · 04-04-2005, 05:15 PM

Red Rob is right. If he has that "contract year" type effort on the field then why not keep him and then let him go next year. However that is a big "IF", maybe to risky to keep him around as far as team chemistry goes....

Maybe they should suck it up and take a 4th if they really wanna move him. I don't really know what they should do with him.

GoSkins! · 04-04-2005, 05:35 PM

I dont think that there is any chance that he could be our #1 receiver next year. Gibbs won't give a position that needs to "built around" to a guy who is going to be heading down the road the first chance he gets. He is gone.

There might be somebody out there who needs a receiver to catch at least 50% of the passes, so they might be holding out to force the prices to be lowered that Gardner is asking for. I don't see us keeping Rod Gardner at all...in fact, I will be extremely surprised if we kept him.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 04-04-2005, 06:27 PM

I don't think a 4th rounder would adequately compensate us. 4th rounders are about 25% likely to stay in the league for more than 5 years. Gardner is entering a contract year and isn't a high priced #2 wideout. I say let him stay if we can't get a 3rd.

bjschmonsees · 04-04-2005, 06:44 PM

I agree that he won't be back, but if he is I think he would be productive. He does make awesome catches, when he isn't dropping ones that hit him in the numbers, that is...

I'd like to see it, but we can't afford Price (his contract numbers are as big as Coles') and the Falcons would never trade Price for Gardner - Price is better and the Falcons would take about a $7 million cap hit.

If we cant trade him, and have the cap room to keep him; I say keep him. With it being a contract year, I would be willing to bet he would perform pretty well. Then we will just be smart enough to let him go after that. Him and Moss would be neck and neck as #1's if we dont draft anyone, but I just dont think we should let him walk.

Now ya know....that would be interesting if we did for some reason keep him. I bet he would try his best to improve from the past couple of seasons. If the guy could go back to playing like he did in his rookie year, then I would be more than happy to keep him...but something tells me that probably won't happen.
