Excellent for fans of the team, not necessarily for fans(or haters) of a specific player.

Portis does have about 3 - 4 million of incentive to be on the team this year.

According to Sat Washington Post it's 6 million due Portis,in my opinion....he's traded on draft day for more picks,or to move up.

You are right. I think there was a half a million workout bonus but the rest of his 10+ million cap number is guaranteed. (roughly 3 mill in SB and 6 million in salary)

His agent did a good job for him.

He still has some miles left,I think his price makes him expendable.

I think MS/BA make him expendable, they have done a solid job RB wise.

That would be a bitter pill to swallow to owe him 6.4 million and then let him go to potentially face you later in the season.

Can you IR someone if they don't have a season ending injury? They did it with Brennan last year, right?

If we are paying him that much, I wouldn't want someone else to be able to pick him up.

I think you have to have a doctor say it is season ending, I don't know the intricacies but Brennan's injury got played up so that they could IR him.

I hope he does come back and has a big year, but if MS isn't seeing what he wants to see, then I imagine he will cut him quickly. He has nothing invested personally in any of the players yet. I am sure someone would pick him up if we let him go, but I doubt it would be anyone in our division, so not a huge problem for me if they do.

My point about the financial incentives was that Portis doesn't have stat related incentives. I don't know this for a fact, but all in all, this backfield looks very capable ASSUMING nfl caliber line play. I really want to see how BA/MS address the line. The backs will all prove themselves.

You are right. The only incentive he has here is a workout bonus... lol

Who will trade for his $6 million+ guaranteed contract?

That really is the 6 million dollar question. Id love to package Portis with our 5th rounder for a 3rd round pick.
