Portis career is almost over as an every down back. The list is long of 29-30 year old backs with a lot of miles on them (Jamal Lewis, Edge, Earl Campbell, Eddie George, Emmitt Smith, more recently LT) that hit the wall.

Time to move on.

Yea Shanny traded Portis but I think he would rethink doing that trade again. Portis was just hitting his stride with Denver he would have put up huge numbers. Champ still did not make the defense that much better. Portis would have made more of an impact then Champ.

in a couple of years Denver will be celebrating a Hall of Fame inductee...not us..{personally I think Bailey is an overstated product with a great agent}
