Josh Garden's singning with the Outlaws was a move that people questioned for multiple reasons. From Garden's perspective, people wondered why he would join a team that was already stacked without him having won 3 championships in a row and appearing poised to win a fourth. This would hurt Garden's image as many would not view him as a competitor and would instead think that he likes to take the easy way out to victory. From the Outlaws' perspective, people questioned whether any one player was really worth a 23 million dollar contract, which is more than a third of the salary cap for one player. The Outlaws already had one of the strongest receiving cores in the league, so it was questioned why they would spend so much for a player who didn't even fill a very big need. However, this signing appears to be a match made in heaven so far. Garden looks to be on pace for a career year, perhaps the best season by a wide receiver in league history, as he has racked up 28 catches for 484 yards and 5 touchdowns in his first four games. The Outlaws offense is already leading the league in points scored by a wide margin. King Bronko is looking like an early MVP favorite as he leads the NSFL in passing yards and has an insane 10:1 TD/INT Ratio in his first four games. Many questioned how the Outlaws would adapt to the buffed up offensive lines around the league as they were previously known for their suffocating pass rush, but early on it is looking like their high flying offense may be their new defining characteristic. Josh Garden is thriving individually on the Outlaws and he has added a new dimension to the team that may be the defining factor in their fourth consecutive championship.
