here are the options
not one of them very good at all

Yep.....this is what hate looks like, I said when he originally signed here that the team overpaid. Subsequent postings led some to call it hating, yet here we are as predicted stuck in a bad deal. However, I still say that the best option is to trade him. Washington gets a 2nd round pick but realistically, a 3rd or 4th round conditional pick and has to take a 4.4 million hit this season. The new team pays him 5.5 million and get a pretty decent #2 wideout. To be clear, all other options are bad ones for DC, including keeping him.....on a team in complete rebuild mode.
BTW: A really good sells job to a contending team just might net that 2nd round pick. So for those of you still having the mindset to keep him, then this would be my condition, a 2nd round or very very early 3rd round pick this year. A middle or later 2nd pick must include some sort of option next season.
Sty,
Problem is the ink wasn't even dry on the deal before you started bashing the man and the deal. You been sitting waiting for something like this in order to say I told you so, and even when the man lead the league in receptions you gave him no credit. That sir is hate.
I don't see it as a problem if it is ultimately proven true. My whole position can be summed up from the beginning as never seeing him as a #1 wideout, including the season that he led the league.Too many here objected to my original position, so if anything the whole hate thing became a thing because I took an opposite position than many here held. As I've said before, it is not hate if proven true. You are absolutely right, there was no point in arguing with the many when all I had to do was wait and allow things to shake out, but what fun would that have been? I knew I was right while the ink was still in the pen!
BTW: There's a reason why he got no credit during nor after his record setting season, primarily, because of the nature of those receptions, they reminded me a lot of the time that either, Rypen or Ferrotte, can't remember which had that long streak of completed passes. Much ado leading to nothing!

he was a number one wide out . perhaps an avg one but a number one all the same
BTW Shark, I'll not take the "I told you so" position, that's not for me to do, even though I took the abuse and consternation of others here.
Who freaking cares! I am a fan of the Redskins period. I don't care if anyone here thinks that I am right or wrong. As I have stated several times - I would love to be wrong thousands of times if the end result is that it benefits the Redskins. You "took the abuse"? LOL. Whatever.
Let's agree to disagree instead of doing this dance again! Maybe a really cool compromise could be that he was only a number one here in Washington on a very bad team, but not seen as a number one on the team that had him first.
Did you write "was?"
yes was is what i wrote figuring Djax could be considered the #1 . but again i dont have a label for hime and think both wrs work well together and with better qb we will see better things
Just so that I'm clear, according to you and many others here, he "WAS" a number one wideout, until this, his second team, following a record setting season, decided he wasn't by signing DJax who you believe can be considered the #1 and now there's no label that you can think of to place on him.....right? Fair enough!! So, might I make a suggestion? He is and has been a very good #2 wideout in fact or in waiting.
Sty,
While I can give you credit for being against it from day one, you have to a degree gone to the I told you so stance. I can even respect you making your opinion and sticking to it, because I have been known to do the same in reference to a much higher profile player currently on our roster. But lets be real, no one is going to take on that contract AND give up a 2nd round pick for Garcon. Its just unrealistic. Its a Redskins type trade, and sadly we cant trade him to ourselves.
So basically you are saying, lets spend $4.4 million in dead cap to buy a second round draft pick (If we can even get that much). Because odds are we will spend the $5 million we save trying to replace him. Still not sounding too logical. Even if its a total rebuild you dont get rid of good parts just to buy new parts. Especially if its going to cost you to have those parts hauled away and you dont really save anything, you just end up with some other new part.
LOL at Sty's claim that he is not playing the "I told you so" card. That is exactly what he is attempting to do.
