LOVE to have Brown, but like you said, why would Miami part ways and keep Williams?
Most all your comments were pretty good, and while some could be debatable, they were close to being right on, so I left them alone...however, the following quote of yours is extremely incorrect:

Jerome Harrison... One awesome game does NOT make a great player. Apart from the Chiefs game he was nothing to shout about. One 100+ game all season

Actually he had 4 100 yard+ performances, AND he did it on Cleveland...CLEVELAND!
He only had 5 games where he would have been considered a "starter" in terms of carries, and in 4 of them he reached over 100. (in the other game he did not get to 100 yards, he had only 16 carries and it was vs the stingy Bal defense)
week 4- CIN, 121 yards
week 14- @K.C., 286 yards
week 15- OAK, 148 yards
week 16- JAX, 127 yards

Time to cut Portis and save the money...I would have SERIOUS concerns about our F.O. if they kept Portis given his age and lack of production. Sure he's still servicable, and still blocks well...but he should not be a primary back. The only way I would like to see portis in a skins uni is if he is cut and signs a new contract for a fraction of a fraction of what he makes. Then we draft some young stud and let them fight it out for carries.
