Hard to believe after all the shit he pulled in KC. Maybe he has matured and will surprise us fans.

It could very well happen. As Ruhskins said, we seem to be signing these guys to realistic, performance based contracts. He's only making big money if he performs well. I think he's worth signing if only to get Portis's attention. Anything that makes Portis a little uncomfortable is good in my book. Maybe he'll get his ass in gear which I think SmootSmack was alluding to in one of his posts.
