Would you trade a mid-round pick for Rod Gardner?

shaneo69 · 01-17-2005, 04:50 PM

Hell, I would. Apparently, that's all Washington is asking for in trade talks, and it looks like Tampa is the leading suitor. I've read this in several recent articles and Pasquarelli mentioned it today in his "Heard in the Pressbox" section.

"Tampa Bay is said to be interested in veteran wide receiver Rod Gardner, who is being dangled by Washington, which probably will trade him for a middle-round draft choice."

Mid rounder? Why not? He might gel. But if not, who cares?

Maybe we should throw in wutamess and gochiefs to sweeten the deal.

For me ... if it were the team I followed, the trade of a R3-5 pick for Gardner would do nothing for me.

Gardner is just a guy... maybe a solid #2 depending on the team, but nothing more than that, IMO.

No, we don't need WR's we got Boerigter, and Sammie Parker, their better then 90% of the league wtih their combined 22 catches!!!

**The Bad Guy** · 01-17-2005, 04:55 PM

I'd do it. He's playing in a system that's terrible on receivers.

Low contract, no signing bonus.

Why not?

We waste our mid-round picks anyway so we might as well get some NFL experienced talent with them this year.

Eleazar · 01-17-2005, 04:57 PM

Do it. Always thought he was a pretty good player.

too bad we don't have a 3rd round pick....

That's what I was thinking. Why do we need another #2 reciever?

Unfortunately, wutamess destroyed his trade value when his dispute with phobia went public in the media on the other thread.

Sure-Oz · 01-17-2005, 05:06 PM

Gardner's Stats-
2001- 46 catches 741 yards 4td
2002-71 catches 1006 yards 8td
2003-59 catches 600 yards 5td
2004-51 catches 650 yards 5td

He is 27, i'd try to give him a look. Don't matter we won't do sh1t anyway!

andoman · 01-17-2005, 05:10 PM

This is the guy that put Kevin Lockett back on the bench. He must me really good!

Chiefnj · 01-17-2005, 05:28 PM

The only bad thing is that I assume he only has one year left on his contract. He probably wouldn't renegotiate prior to the trade so you are running the risk he bolts in free agency after 2005.

I'd give a 5th rounder for 1 year of performance.

Deberg_1990 · 01-17-2005, 05:44 PM

He would be worth a mid-rounder sure, but not for this team. Hes ok, but basically a SlyMo/Morton type, big but no breakaway speed. Dont expect a savior. IMO we should focus more on developing Parker/Horn/Smith and maybe drafting another young kid.

Chiefnj · 01-17-2005, 05:52 PM

I think he's faster than people give him credit for. Coming out of college I'm pretty sure he was faster than Chad Johnson.
