Portis Puts Home Up For Sale

[SolidSnake84]

I think the biggest hurdle in getting Portis back here next year will be salary. His is scheduled to make something like 8.2 million or something, and i just dont see that happening. I also think that Portis believes he can still start in the league, so i would see him trying to land on at a running-back needy team.

Of Course, he could always be resigned at a low cost, but i think since he's 30, and doesnt have a long time left, he will try and get one last big contract, maybe one that is largely incentive based..like others have pointed out we look good at RB right now with Torain and Williams, so this will be interesting....

I never reaaly understood some of the fans resentment towards Portis. Gibbs adored the guy and Shanahan had nothing but positive things to say. Did his rift with Zorn really piss you guys off thast much? His marginal attempts at comedy that unsavory? Why do some of you dislike CP so much (who by the way is our second all-time leading rusher)?

I think the fans' tide started to turn on CP when he started getting lazy with practice habits and committment, and then started throwing everybody under the bus. That and the fact that his attitude seemed to worsen each year since 2007, along with the fact that his play steadily declined each year, and i think after that the fans kind of had it with him. If he was producing on the field, i think it would have been different. But he trash talked and bad mouthed everything, and then sucked on the field.

His act wore thin and I really believe he was such a model player last season because he finally came across a coach who wouldnt take his shit. Shanahan got rid of him once before in Denver after threatening to be a hold-out, and Portis knew that his old coach would do the same thing again if he got under his skin...

I guess it was too hard.
