To be fair, Garcon wasn't really proven and he was expensive relative to his production. The question is whether the Redskins can get the same sort of performance-to-contract value from Richardson. Time will tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven vets tend to be near or over 30 and are usually on the downside of their careers. Getting a player coming off his rookie contract that you project to get better based off of what he did the previous year or previous few years is a much better plan for signing free agents.

Garcon was coming off an almost 1000 yard season on a crappy offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Richardson's first meaningful starting time, he got 703 yards on 44 catches. It's a gamble due to the injury risk, but that was the going rate for receivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldman9er Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) I don't know that any 1 (high paid) offensive receiver will match production versus contract. My guess is that the ball gets spread around to all... so at the end of the season.. the individual production numbers might very well be.. underwhelming. Paul Richardson's value is as much or more about stretching the field for others.. as it is to actually be the primary target. If this holds true, and he's effective at the role, I won't judge him on the tangible stats he collects.

turtle28 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Ryan Grant, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson all had more TDs themselves than Djax & Garçon had combined last season. Edited May 10, 2018 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we wouldn’t have been; our offensive line and defense fell apart because of injury and Reed missed 1/2 the year. There is no way that having just those two WRs gives the team 3 more victories and a wildcard playoff appearance, on top of that we couldn’t afford to keep both Garçon and Djax.

e16bball Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Only in the Redskins forum can a team take a pounding for not giving $20M+ a year to two 31-year-old WRs who barely combined for 1000 yards in the first (read: likely best) season of their multi-year deals.

Ya but they both went to crappy QB situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
