gardner trade?

Is there anyway that we could get a CB in the trade? I don't think that we will if he goes to the Vikes, but in any other place may be......

Hey....why don't we trade him to the Vikings for Smoot, then restructure his deal when he gets here.

I'm thinking we may have to PAY SOMEONE TO TAKE GARDNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt we're trading Gardner for a player. We will probably get a draft pick in return.

Terri! I heard that we offered to pay AND a player but we didn't have anyone left!

Hopefully some GM out there thinks that 50/50 is going to be great someday.

I even tried church this week!

why? Gardner is a proven WR he has a 1,000 yard season under his belt... was a top 15 pick... has gone through probably 4 or 5 systems...

how many 1000 yard seasons has McCants had?????

Gardner will be productive in the right system....

Do you guys think we can get a second round for him? I think so because he is not a bad player and two there are three team that really want him?

SkinsChic · Post by **SkinsChic** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:08 pm

Oh...and you have to be allowed ON THE FIELD TO GET 1000 yards...and I'm darn sure if McCants had the chance he would. A receiver should be able to CATCH THE BALL IN ANY SYSTEM... why does Gardner need a Special One ?

Name the "three teams" that really want him.

I think the teams were Seattle, Cleveland (may be wrong there) and the Vikes. But I think the best fit for Rod would be in Seattle...with as many dropped passes as Darrell Jackson and Koren Robinson had last season, they'd look at Rod as a godsend...

Bucs, Ravens, Vikes.

Other possibilities: San Diego, Houston.

The bottom two seem to be longshots.

The Bucs have Galloway and Clayton, they'll go for Gardner as what a 3rd WR? Doubtful.

Ravens have Mason, and don't trade draft picks. They just don't.

Minnesota makes sense.

On what do you base that? The fact that even in college he never caught many balls or on his first three years in the NFL. Or is it just a WAG (Wild A$$ Guess). I like McCants, but I don't THINK that he would be any better than a 40 or 50 catch guy if he was on the field a lot.
Plain simple fact and I know that I am going to get blasted for this, but Gardner is a better WR than Moss.

I think we might be surprised just what we could get for Gardner. I hope we are marketing him for a 2nd or 3rd round pick, instead of trying to dump him off for a 5th round pick.

Think about it. What team could draft a rookie receiver in the 5th round that can come in and catch 60 balls for 1000 yds, & 6 tds. We should get value for this guy.

Maybe the Vikings would be stupid enough to give up their 18th pick for him and to finalize the deal Tice could slide them some free Super Bowl tickets.

Thanks JansenFan I needed a good laugh today with all this bad news. This has been a horrible offseason and I am depressed.

.....and I am all out of rum.

McCants played TE mostly for the Blue Hens and his senior numbers were not too shabby. 36 catches for 18 touchdowns.

Every other catch for a TD?????? Better than Diddier time !!

I think the three teams are cleveland , vikes , and seattle. I think cleveland makes most since cause they really don't have a great number one WR. You guys gotta remember that most teams don't think of gardner as 50/50. They think of him as a guy that caught 50 passes last year, and had a pretty decent season last year. They'll give him slack for this year because of gibbs' system. I think we'd be crazy to let him go for less than a high third, but i see us only getting a 3rd rounder, maybe even a 4th for him.

DeathByLinebacker#56 · Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:02 pm

There are 5 teams looking at Gardner, we may be able to get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him. We need picks. :twisted:

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:06 pm

it looks like a 4th or 5th as of last reports

Hogfather · Post by **Hogfather** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:22 pm

Possible Trades with Cleveland:

- Gardner & our 9th overall, for Cleveland's 3rd overall & Steve Heiden
- Gardner & our 9th overall, for Cleveland's 3rd overall.
- Gardner For Steven Heiden & 5th round
- Gardner For Steven Heiden straight up
- Gardner For Cleveland's 3 round pick #67
- Gardner For Cleveland's 4 round pick #97

Thoughts....
