The Facts: Garcon is set to hit free agency for the first time since signing with the Redskins five years ago, and if there's anything he wants fans to know, it's that he's not simply a "possession receiver."
Diehards Line:
In addition to telling 106.7 The Fan’s Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier that he would like to remain with the Redskins, Garcon was adamant in stressing he shouldn't be pigeon-holed. “I definitely want people to stop thinking I’m a possession receiver because they gave me a job to do,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I can’t go deep and I can’t run fast, because I ran fast and went deep this year more than I probably ever did. Every year is different from the play calling, but I want people to stop thinking that I’m a slow guy, and I’m not slowing down any time soon. I think I’ve gotten better this year than I have in the previous years. ...” The Redskins are facing an offseason of high turnover. Already, DC Joe Barry has been fired, OC Sean McVay has accepted the Rams head coaching position, and on the offense, Garcon and fellow wide receiver DeSean Jackson are both free agents. A decision on what to do with quarterback Kirk Cousins — who’s also free agency bound — looms as well.
