Portis wanted Skins to sign Edge

[That Guy]

Although he's set as the starting running back, Portis tried in vain to convince Edgerrin James to join the Redskins. James signed a four-year, $30 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
"I kept calling E.J. to come up here, and we would have had one of the most dangerous backfields ever," he said. "Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen co-existed. I told him to sign for less money, and he wouldn't have to do as much work. We would have run into the record books."

wow... that wouldn't have been insane. Portis really liked his friends from miami. It definately could have added extra (productive) seasons to their careers.
