Via Pierre Garcon's Facebook

I wanted you all to hear it from me 1st before u saw it on the news... I will be signing with the Washington Redskins and I'm very excited about the opportunity in front of me.

I want to thank all Colts fans from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you've shown me the past 4 years and I hope that at some level u will still follow my career, as I will continue to share my life with you on here...

Just curious, but how many players are currently on the Colts roster?

Too bad, the kid has potential, but he was stubborn and I dont like stubborn players. It's a little weird he chose the Redskins. They're not much better or better at all. Interesting choice, but I guess he wanted to be a #1 WR, and the Colts didn't want to make him that.

[Ryan Pelley]

I hope he enjoys going no where with his career. P*** on Garcon.

[chad72]

The question is, how much did he sign up for? I doubt he got more than what the Colts gave him, no way.

But, with RGIII going there, it's a pretty good signing for him. Better than if they were sticking with Grossman or Beck. Could be fun to watch (even though I have to root against the Redskins)

Congratulations to to Garcon, um did anyone inform him they dont have a quarterback to throw to him?

[Bryan Bolesta]

i just saw it on fb and went to the colts forum as soon as i knew. its nice how he didnt just leave after becoming a free agent and addressed us not the media. may just be to sound like a good guy but still heck be missed and best of luck to him. gets to play with RG3 lol

[IndyTrav]

If you sign as a FA with Washington it tells me two things:

1.) You are not very good

2.) You are overpaid

hahahaha have fun in Washington Pierre, you'll be out of the league in 3......2........1......

[Robin]

hope he ends up like ochocinco

[Jay305]

good riddance

Dan Snyder will always over pay! Now they have nobody to throw it or catch it,good for them.

[LaughingAtIrsay]

So Collie is going to be the #1 Wr now?.. Reggie is not coming back unless Irsay gives him a big contract or no other team offer him a nice amount of money. Too Funny!

[Gavin]

good point forgot RGIII will probably be signing their. I wish him the best

[WSnotch]

Hope he doesn't drop the pen when signing the contract.

[mvbighead]

RG3 to Garcon. Could work I guess. Meh, he could make some really big catches, but he could also drop some easy ones. Good luck with the Skins Garcon. I have a feeling you'll need it.

No.. They are better. Check the record and the roster.

I still say the only big loss is Manning, we will miss none of the others.

[Slick_Rick]

Well, receiver is most definitely a need now. I wonder, if not for money, why he left. Similar offensive situation and all.

[FireJimCaldwell]

Wrong forum..

Just saying..

[Boiler_Colt]

It was just reported he got $8 million/year. Yikes, good luck with that 'skins

[Gavin]

any thoughts to where Bullit goes?

I heard rumors the Vikings were interested.

[Happy2BeHere]

Yes our team has many holes to fill but confident we will fill them well....

We all thank you to for the 8 yard slant you dropped on third down to change the mojo in the super bowl vs Saints,well done.

There's nothin' good about what you do or who you are...

[Gavin]

from nfl network?

[Esquire59]

Lost the Super Bowl with your drop.

Okay Care to expand on that one?

[WSnotch]

Was posted on his fb..

[UndecidedFrog]

72, including about 20 who will turn FA as of 4pm.

[BuildtheMonster1285]

Any news on Tamme yet?

[Malakai432]

I would be happy with any other SECOND tier receiver. I appreciate what Garcon has done however in my mind he will always be synonymous with the wide open SB drop from a football perspective. From a social perspective though he's definitely a good person especially with all his ties and what he's done for Haiti.

[JWF]

How did the Redskins even have enough dough?

They must have cut some guys.

Best of Luck to Pierre. Wish we could have kept him. Another one bites the dust.

Jeesh, it's a Cleveland quote...

[Montana]

This doesn't bother me at all. We could always count on him to drop an easy pass in critical situations. I'll never forget that drop in the Super Bowl!! He better use his money the right way, 'cuz I have a feeling this will be his last big payday. Also heard he wasn't the easiest person to coach or work with. Glad he's gone..

[FireJimCaldwell]

Jeesh, it's a Cleveland quote...

I don't watch the show. Never seen it.. The avatar is more of a ode to Jim Caldwell via a cartoon rendition. He has more hair than JC but it fit. So yeah that one went right over my head.

[shakedownstreet]

dang! he was one of the very few colts i've met & now he's gone

[ColtsLegacy]

any thoughts to where Bullit goes?

XFL? UFL? Lingerie football?

[deedub75]

Best of luck to Garcon. I just don't see how people can bash him for signing with another team. We are not very good and maybe he didn't want to be part of the rebuilding. Also, players follow the money. Maybe his agent informed him to wait and test free agency because he already had a team who was gonna pay more than the Colts. We are worse than the Redskins right now.
