Portis knew that it was shape up or ship out. Shanahan let him go in Denver because of a salary/holdout threat, and so CP knew he couldnt get away with it again here.
Bottom line is, we are probably seeing Portis final run as a redskin. He is the last piece from the old regime that needs replaced. he wont be here next year due to his salary and the fact that this is his 3rd season in a row where he has missed games due to injury...

It now seems to me that looking back on it Gibbs was Danny & Vinny's enabler. He gave an air of legitimacy to a lot of the crazy personnel moves they made.
