How he played isn't really important. What matters is the player's value on the open market and your team's strengths and weaknesses. They have a lot of holes but RB is not one of them.
The team has two great runningbacks. With Portis' contract you cannot trade him. Betts' contract on the other hand is pretty reasonable and his value has never been higher. So naturally, he is the only one that would be worth trading.
Not to mention, I think that Gibbs would (and will) pick Portis over Betts.
