| I agree with Garcon's decision. Any player that signs a contract prior to the start of free agency, is an idiot. Plain and simple. Too much money to be lost by not testing the open market with so many teams sitting on tons of cap space that they have to start spending. |

Why?
VJ is elite, Garcon is not close. |
I don't think either of them are elite, TBH. But Garcon is younger and has more room to grow as a player than VJ. But if he's wanting astronomical numbers, then no thanks.

Garcon was a good #2 WR....and that's all he'll be. He had the likes of Reggie Wayne & Dallas Clark pulling most of the defenses....So why wouldn't he get 70 catches 947 yds. Even while Reggie Wayne was being double teamed over/under....he still had more yards....970. It's totally different when teams don't watch your side as much as the better threats on the team. That's why Manningham should suck it up and stay with the Giants if he wants any shot at seeing single coverage all day long. Garcon will have a taste of his own greedy medicine if he doesn't go to a team that already has a good wr established.....and take a Burleson contract.

Yeah, don't think anyone will be willing to pay Garcon as a #1, he's better suited to be a #2 WR in the NFL. It will be interesting to see where he ends up, if he does leave Indy.

Well, cross the Vikings off your list. no way for a #2 WR. Plus, he's not THAT good.

Boy the Pats are going to be even more dangerous offensively if they get any of these free agent receiver i.e Vincent Jackson, Garcon, Mike Wallace, ewwwwww!!!! That is just nasty.
