Of course. But he has been one of my favorite Redskins for a long, long time.

I like what he represented. I like the fact that his salary was low. I like his ability to catch passes, and even return kicks.

In a decade consisting mostly of pain, he was extremely easy to cheer for.

I can't argue with that. He was underutilized and was pretty effective when he was given the chance to start.

It sucks that he got the injury bug. But man, I loved that guy as a team player.

I was praying that we would have traded Portis away years ago, after Betts lit it up for 1,100 in half a season. Not a popular suggestion at the time, but I still feel that it could have set us up big.

Portis for a Boldin or a lineman? I would have given anything for that.
