I think it's funny that in spite of all the sneaky double talk that has occured around the Redskins organization over the last several years, that there are still people that think there's no truth to this situation whatsoever.

That's what's funny about it all. Two different news papers report similiar stories. Third time, well....

Every offseason there are rumors like this involving the Redskins and since Gibbs took over more often than not they have turned out to be false.

Try to name a big name free agent that hasn't had his name associated with the Redskins by the media at some point.

There's a difference between speculation of a big name free agent joining the Redskins and one of the few actual stars being rumored to leave the squad. Generally, when a big name is rumored to leave(Bailey, Smoot, Pierce, Arrington, Davis, Coles, etc.) it turns out to be true.

In fact, the only player in recent memory that I can recall who was heavily rumored to be traded and actually stayed with the squad was Samuels, and that was a few seasons ago.

Rumors to leave are one thing, rumors of other teams being interested are entirely different.

It all depends upon which side the rumor is coming from. This one is purely based on other teams wanting Portis, not the Redskins wanting to trade Portis.
