I don't think Portis is going anywhere next year, but you could be right in as much as he'll be the likely replacement to fill Ladell Betts' role, as he will likely be gone via unrestricted free agency. All signs point to Duckett as next year's 2nd man at running back.

Rock may get less carries, but we will always have him on the active squad for special teams. So between Portis, Betts and TJD, we really can't take all 3 on our active squad for each game, since none of them play special teams. This year there will most likely always be an odd man out, and so far its been TJD.
