Retire #21

I disagree with retiring his number... as had been said by several others.... to many greats have not had that. Many players for different reasons have had incredible tenures with the team, only to be cut short by injury etc. I do agree that it should be worn by Portis for the remainder of the season. If memory serves, Portis had lobbied hard for us to draft ST back then.

After that, I think it should be out of circulation for several years, but not retired.

Many numbers have been out of circulation are occasionally worn by other players... i.e. 42 & 49
