They dumped two duds for a slightly better dud. Of course Matt Millen being a moron helps.

Fact is that even though Denver screwed the pooch, Denver gave themselves a better chance to improve their team beyond just getting Bailey. We got Portis, but denyed ourselves the ability to have a chance to help our team in addition to Portis.

Is it that hard to just say the 2nd rounder didn't work out for them?

That is the good news...

The bad news is that Tatum Bell was selected by ... Mike Shanahan.

Yeah MS has had some duds, just like any other coach who hangs around long enough

I don't know that he is gone. He lives in Miami. Probably doesn't need two homes. I doubt he'll be here more than one more year but theres a decent chance that we need him.

I heard somewhere that Portis owns several properties in the DMV area.

MTK · 02-01-2011, 04:52 PM

Could very well be nothing.

Shanahan is a fan of CP, and vice versa. If they can work out a deal that makes sense I can definitely see CP coming back.

This would be my preference. I appreciate what CP in the B&G.

Regardless of his outcome, I think we can all say his efforts over the years have been appreciated. I don't think it would come as a surprise to anyone if he's not here.

warpaint · 02-01-2011, 05:01 PM

CP is the best blocking back i have ever seen play the game i would really like to see him still picking up the rush next year. I just hope we can get some young guy to try and out CP in this area.

tryfuhl · 02-01-2011, 05:14 PM

Doesn't he own a few houses? Not sure what's all in the area though.

If he's not here he might as well see if the Dolphins will invite him in. He can still spend his offseasons in Miami like he has been and he'd be back home.

DCtoAZ · 02-01-2011, 05:36 PM

I personally think CP will be back in a limited role in a new deal .... what's the risk of having him split carries with Torrain ? Not to mention Keiland Williams was a nice surprise ... all that being said it depends on whether we can get those cap numbers down ... CP provided some great Redskins moments in a time when there weren't too many .. HTTR ..

Clinton Portis - Best Blocking RB in the last 10 years hands down

There is no roster spot for "blocking back".
Just running backs and fullbacks.
Bye Clinton, you're an injury waiting to happen.

I agree, they already waste a roster spot on Sellers, there's no way they can tie up another RB spot on CP if all he is going to do is block on passing downs.

skinsguy · 02-01-2011, 08:43 PM

The dude's not gone yet! Until there is an official word, he's still a Redskin and one of my favorites.

skinsfan_nn · 02-01-2011, 10:36 PM

It normally is something. I do not see Portis in DC next season. After two back to back major injury plagued years, enough.

Its time for the future tandem running game to arrive in DC, Torain could possibly be one part of the solution.
