I was just reading an article on ESPN, and I came across this...
I'd much rather have him than Mitchell, that's for sure.

Hmm... I'm not sure if I agree. Thoughts?
Washington officials suspect that wide receiver Rod Gardner, who has been on the trade block for months, will skip the team's formal offseason program. That could mean the price tag for acquiring the former first-round draft pick drops to next to nothing. And that means some team willing to surrender a seventh-round pick in the 2006 draft would be wise to pull the trigger on a deal. Sure, the four-year veteran suffers from some lapses in consistency. And he is more possession receiver than burner. But at age 27, Gardner still has something left, and he did catch 51 passes in 2004 in a poorly-designed attack. Given the paltry investment it will take to land Gardner, the comparative dividend could be a pretty good one.

HARD TRUTH WR Rod Smith is a great player, but he'll be 35 this season and simply can't be the Broncos' go-to guy forever.
Ashley Lelie has showed flashes of talent as a big-play receiver, but he disappears in the red zone, and second-year receiver Darius Watts showed a maddening lack of concentration last season that cost him at least three touchdowns.
If Lelie and Watts don't take giant steps forward this season, leaving Smith as QB Jake Plummer's main receiving threat, the Broncos will regret their inaction on the free-agent market and in the draft in addressing this problem spot.
