Rod Gardner Traded to Carolina!!!!

[Warmother]

Yeah I think the pick will depend on how much he plays for Carolina. Maybe we get lucky and get a 3rd or 4th for him.

[skinsfan1]

I'm glad we got rid of that headache. Gibbs is building a team/family enviroment, this will result in more effort and more wins. So long 50/50!

[Redskins4Life]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSIR!

I still have love for my man Rod but his time as a Skin was done. I wish him the best in Carolina! I wonder what we got for him though? Wishful thinking says it'll be at least a 3rd round pick

[air_hog]

Man where was I??? This is great...
I hope he does well for the panthers...which I think he will...he has the big play ability and will complement Smith real well... wow... the season is coming!!!!

Why? I hope he sucks. Unless they gave us a 3rd rounder or better, then he can do well.

Why would you hope he sucks? Its not like he was a team chemistry problem or disrupted anything. He was a decent player with good potential and work ethic. You can't necessarily fault him for being inconsistent. Maybe all he needed was a change of scenery. He was a solid player for us and we as Redskins fans should wish him well in the future

If we only listened to danny snyder in 2001 and took Santana Moss then instead of Gardner we wouldn't be in this situation. Thanks Coach Schottenheimer

Amen

[blchizzleke]

I always hate these kind of deals though. Teams always trade a quality player that doesnt want to be there for a low draft pick. It almost always works out for the team who gets the quality player. During the draft the Seahawks were actually trying to trade Shaun Alexander for a 3rd round pick...are you kidding me. And now we trade a 1st round pick for most likely a 5th-7th round pick. I would've liked to see us get a guy like Keary Colbert from the Panthers for him but oh well.

[Free Sean Taylor!]

See Ya! I think at the point the skins will take anything, AnyThing to get rid of this guy. Have to say I enjoyed his catches.. 50% of the time... He did catch Brunell's longest pass of the year, right?

Yea he did!!

Wasn't it like 20 yard are somthing?

[portis26]

I always thought it was 50/50 whether or not we'd get something for him.

[skinpride1]

I'm represnting the Redskins on a Panthers board... My argument starts about halfway down page 3 of this defending the Redskins.

http://panthershuddle.com/newforum/viewtopic.php?t=10930&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I am defending Ramsey right now on page four, but please noone sign up over there just to troll.

Don't worry the joke is on them.I went to the panthers link and read some of there posts.Sad indeed.Everyone was talking about how great gardner is and how he can get seperation.I'm not saying he can't get seperation but what the panthers fans, have no clue about is "the 50/50 gardner." The one who will make a great catch and then drop another three passes that hit him right in the numbers.I don't really care about all the panthers fans saying Ramsey sucks and how the skins are going to lose bad again this year.Gardner is not a "posse" type of w.r. and belongs on a kitty cat team.The whole world is not given the skins a chance to make it into the playoffs this year,so why should a bunch of panthers fans be different.We will prove them all wrong.

[gay4pacman]

It doesnt matter WHAT we get for him as long as we dont have to pay him!

[Hooligan]

Wait wait wait... they seem thrilled to death about getting Gardner. Did I miss something? Did he get hand transplants in the offseason?

[Chris Luva Luva]

Well Im glad they're so darn excited to pick up a WR who can't catch. LOL

We have a counter setup that counts just how many passes he dropps this season.

[Punu]

Well I wish him the best cuz i thought he was a good guy. I liked him.

[Chris Luva Luva]

Well I wish him the best cuz i thought he was a good guy. I liked him.

If you search back through my history, you'll see that he used to be my most hated player. Brunell more than excelled at that position for me. Rod didn't irritate me too badly towards the latter half of the season.

He still can't catch though, lol.

[Free Sean Taylor!]

I always thought it was 50/50 whether or not we'd get something for him.

nice!

[Chris Luva Luva]

Ive been searching for information!!

I believe that we've got a 6th rounder for him. Ill try to find a link.

[Chris Luva Luva]

I dug this up.

Panthers | Gardner Will Cost Sixth-round Draft Choice
Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:42:19 -0700

Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports the Carolina Panthers will give up a sixth-round draft choice in 2006 to the Washington Redskins for WR Rod Gardner if Gardner passes a physical with the team Thursday, July 28. Sources also noted the compensation is also conditional on Gardner making the team's roster. The Panthers will be responsible for $2 million base salary for Gardner, who is in the final year of his initial contract.

So is it actually 50/50 whether we get anything?


You know, Tom Brady was a 6th round pick.

Why would you hope he sucks? Its not like he was a team chemistry problem or disrupted anything.

Actually, he was bad for the team chemistry and that is precisely why we got rid of him. Why do you think he was specifically told not to attend offseason training or practices? He and Coles both disrespected Joe Gibbs and were not team players and Joe wanted both out of here at all costs. Good riddance!

HE'S FINALLY GONE!!!

[aswas71788]

Moss hasn't done any better than Gardner in his time in the NFL. Seems to me that we just traded one 2nd level receiver for another. The only advantage Moss has is speed. Hope he shows some of this year

[NikiH]

Well actually Moss was much better on the long passes over the span of his career. So I think that comes in handy with a RB like Portis.

Moss can catch, that justifies his presence on the field. 50/50 doesn't catch, so why is here there?

[Redskin in Canada]

If the 6th round is confirmed, I am very happy. I was sure we would get absolutely nothing. Obviously, the strategy implemented by the front office worked to delay his release worked.

I can not believe those Panthers fans Smithian. Nice board but they are way off base vis-a-vis their SB chances.

As the "6th better than nothing" story fades, I can not help but remember that we wasted a first draft choice on this guy. From first to sixth in just a few years. Hopefully our 6th pick next year results in a good choice.
