Portis trade rumor

[Schneed10]

The Texans may be thinking about pursuing Portis, but as soon as they initiate discussions with Gibbs they'll realize he's not for sale.

Gibbs will NEVER trade Portis. No way, no how. First off, he LOVES Portis. Secondly, we'd have to take a big salary cap hit to trade one of our best players. Not gonna happen.

I love idiotic trade rumors that don't give consideration to the salary cap. It's the #1 way to tell if a rumor is just that.

I do not think that the trade will happen but I am not as sure as schneed10 is about that. I have seen stranger thing happen, cap space or not.

The love affair between Gibbs and Portis may have hit a snag or two when Portis was pouting about playing in pre-season games and would not let it go. That along with the way Al Saunders compliments Betts may make this rumor more of a reality than we think.

If you were a GM, would you trade your #1 pick for a RB coming off major shoulder surgery? We have to do some major re-working of some contracts already existing on the team, another #1 in conjunction with our own would be a bit much, unless the intent would be to trade that pick also. With Betts history of injury problems, we may have to take a long hard look at trading Portis, which I don't think Gibbs would do anyway.
