Pierre Garcon Signs With Washington Redskins

[chrisfarley]

8 mil a year......i would have like to see him stay a colt but you can't blame a guy for signing for about 1 mil more per yr.....it sounds like some posters turn haters if a player doesn't remain a colt.....give the guy a break, he played hard made some good catches and dropped some easy ones, you can't say Manning made him because he had a good year with terrible QB's throwing to him. His career could be over with 1 good hit so its good he got what he could.

Garcon has just blew a chance to pair with one of the best QB prospects in 20+ years. Who does he think is going to get the ball to him?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Is it just me that really dislike Blair White?

Blair's Ok for what he is a slow guy with decent size & hands. pretty smart, good as your 4/5 receiver, oh wait a minute hes our #2 now :drink: Watch out league here we come!!

[Moose Of Woe]

Word is he wanted to accept the Colts' offer, but he kept dropping the pen. Here's hoping he can hold on to his plane tickets instead.

Washington overpaid by a mile.

I think RG3 to Garcon could be fun

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

truth! preach!

You are correct sir, and he is/ WAS still getting better is 25 years old he has not reached his full potential. He will now for the redskins. COOL

[Gavin]

thats if washington doesnt have another brain fart between now and the draft and forget who they were going to draft with their first pick ( RGIII)

[chrisfarley]

I think RG3 to Garcon could be fun

yea but not sure how RGIII will do on those deep throws that Garcon is famous for making circus catches and such. I wish Pierre the best as he enters the RGIII era. RGIII should be excited to hear this news however.

Isn't RGIII also a great prospect?

I dont blame these guys for wanting to leave - they see how everyone has been treated and want to get out while the getting out is good.

[19colt]

I will miss Garcon but my strongest memory of him is going to be the pass he dropped in the Superbowl that could have went the distance.

[Jaric]

Just saw that this contract makes Pierre the 8th highest paid WR in the NFL..........un real..........

Goodness...

I mean, I liked Pierre, but they paid about twice what I had him valued at.

It is good to see that the Redskins aren't learning from their previous mistakes (cough randel el cough)

[chad72]

What would the Redskins fans and Garcon do if we draft RGIII?

[Gavin]

draft andruw luck

[21isSuperman]

Tons of potential. Has all the physical tools to be a very good WR, but needs to improve his focus and drop less balls

[KyFan18]

OMGZ. Move this to the General Forum immediately!

[Fireman818]

No loss, he was a #3 WR at best who wanted #1 money.

[deedub75]

He will have RGIII and have a chance to win with a better team than the Colts. Not to mention he is going to make more money. I do not see why so much hate on Garcon for leaving.

[Blackhawk4]

[manningstheman]

They aren't going to just leave the team as is. We have to wait and see what they do, fortunately the draft is VERY strong with WRs and there are still many first and second tier free agent WRs on the market. They don't really need to bring in any big names this year, we will have to wait till next year until they have monumental cap room. Collie and White can still be solid, it's not like the Colts need to bring in 20 WRs.

I know they will have WR's on the roster. Please dont say White will be solid. lol.

[Fx Stryker]

Griffin is going to have fun with Pierre. Everyone can say what they want, but you all know Pierre would have had a stellar season with Peyton this year. The kid showed so much improvement, even with Painter throwing to him. Good Luck Pierre.

[Coltsfanincincy]

Good, now the way is paved for the return of Roy Hall!

[ColtsUrUs]

Isn't RGIII also a great prospect?

I dont blame these guys for wanting to leave - they see how everyone has been treated and want to get out while the getting out is good.

How are they being treated? People don't understand that this is a business and thats how the league goes. You guys get to wrapped up into being player fans than being team fans.

[shakedownstreet]

Good, now the way is paved for the return of Roy Hall!

and hank baskett

i am so relieved i won't have to figure out how to type that funny lookin c anymore

[Gavin]

exactly, I've said it all along players go where money talk now I know thats not the case with everyone but is the majority

[BOTT]

What would the Redskins fans and Garcon do if we draft RGIII?

be even happier

[CR91]

i dont know who has a dumber management raiders or redskins

[BOTT]

i dont know who has a dumber management raiders or redskins

al davis is dead so....

[Gavin]

Hmm watcha think if we was able to get Payton Hillis, I know a huge stretch but that would be a power running game,. obviously very unlikely

[CR91]

al davis is dead so....

we'll see how better off the raiders are with his son at the helms

[Fx Stryker]

we'll see how better off the raiders are with his son at the helms

That dude has the weirdest haircut.

[Smitto]

Some of you need to stop hating, Garcon is a great WR... he didn't sign back with the colts big deal, WRs with good QBs are a dime a dozen. I wish him the best, he's a great guy.... though I will stop following him on twitter lol

[Gavin]

whos evan mathis

[chrisfarley]

Griffin is going to have fun with Pierre. Everyone can say what they want, but you all know Pierre would have had a stellar season with Peyton this year. The kid showed so much improvement, even with Painter throwing to him. Good Luck Pierre.

yea, i'm still in shock over this one. they could have up-ed the offer, thing is, Garcon might have wanted to play with RGIII instead of Luck. You just never know but Washington is breaking the bank on WR's. Man-o-Man. They just signed their 4th with Royal out of Denver.

[Gavin]

Hmm gonna be a long year for dolphins fans, no Marshall

[shakedownstreet]

that's just how the redskins operate. they traded all their draft picks, so they are signing FA's

[ThatOneColtFan]

Typical Snyder, overpaying free agents.

[04DarkShadowGT]

No loss, he was a #3 WR at best who wanted #1 money.

Come on thats ridiculous. He is a very high end #2 or a low end #1

I dont think he is worth the 8th highest contract, but I'm not sure there are 32 better WRs.

[gocolts1234]

Can you imagine collie, gonzalez, and white being r only WRs next season. Good Wide Receivers, but no real deep threat. I bunch of short little slants and in routs. I don't even think opponents would need a safety...

[Gavin]

probably better make that collie and white dont think gonzalez is still signed and if he is he wont healthy anyway

[Malakai432]

I know they will have WR's on the roster. Please dont say White will be solid. lol.

You got me there can be solid, but now that Reggie is back we got our #1

[B-B]

Garcon is really meh to me, I liked Collie better may not have as good of stats but even still. Now that we have Wayne back, I don't really care
