As good as Portis is it might make sense to move in another direction to place the big money he makes in other areas of need.

If you think Portis will or should be gone in 2007, you need to stop free-basing.

I'm not saying I want him gone becasue I don't. What I'm saying is that his number is real big next year and you know they are going to ask him to renegotiate. So there is a chance he could be let go. His contract is basically a three year deal. Needs are everywhere. O-line, D-line, linebacker and 2ndary. The whole team is so top heavy, meaning too much money is invested in the starters and not enough invested in quality depth. Do I think we could win with Betts, Duckett and Cartwright? Hell yeah. I believe you win with defense and you can replace RB's. Yes Portis is a great back but I would rather have two disruptive pass rushers on our front 7 than Portis.
