Another interesting, but unrelated note, he was also asked if Portis can be the starting RB in '10 and he said, 'We'll see.' Much less encouraging about 26 being back.

Interesting. I think in regards to Portis I have written him off due to age and practice habits. Concussion was just a side note for me cause players get them all the time. One concussion usually means the player could get another concussion more easily and easier and easier. I think with the NFL now forcing teams to not put the player back in the game two or three possessions later and forcing players to see doctors who will decide if they play or not, I can see the Skins deciding to pass on Portis or let him go cause he would be taking up a roster spot with the understanding he could get another concussion very easily at anytime at any point in a game. Kinda like how we sat on Samuels and R.Thomas.
Plus throw in the uncapped year and ditching his contract should mean more to the team in the long run vs. keeping an aged concussion prone RB who is on the decline. I can see them shedding the contract while they can.
