We picked these players up, and still managed to be $13m under the cap...stop worrying about 4-5 years form now and lets make a run at another Super Bowl while we still have Gibbs to lead us there. I'll worry about the future after I finish my glass of champagne while looking at Gibbs hoist the Lombardi Trophy over his head

I completely agree. There is so much parity in the league and every year a new team emerges, lately though it's never the Redskins. Why not make a run now? We shouldn't be worried about what might happen to Portis and his contract five or six years down the road.
