Do you want Portis back next season?

i agree but thats alot of money the DS would just have to shell out to CP (6-7 mil guar) to not be a part of this team ala b lloyd.

i vote no, shoot its not my money that i pissed away, eat it DS and move on.

The money tossed around is incredible, I mean DS is already eating 2.4 mill for JZ, I wonder what if any is owed to VC, so if another 6-7 is needed to get rid of CP, and that is what his executive vice presidents think needs to be done, than it's got to be a no questions asked deal on Snyder's part. This is one of those moves that should solely be MS/BA's call, and Snyder just needs to smile and move on, much like when Deion went good bye.

That's what he gets for running my franchise into the dirt.

CP must go
Sometime back he......"jumped the Artie"

Shanahan got rid of Portis after he posted 3000 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns. How on earth would he justify keeping him now? Financial reasons are the only thing I can think of.

Dump him.

[skinsfan69]

No! It's time to move on and we need to start getting rid of the core guys the last 5 years.

[DynamiteRave]

No! This guy is turning into a locker room plague.

Make way for the TO wannabe train. Choo Choo!

And at least TO could still produce. Portis can take his diva-ass somewhere else. PEACE.

[SmootSmack]

Kubiak is (at least was) a big Portis fan. Maybe he'll take him off our hands.

Talent wise I think Portis is the best RB we have and is still the best blocking running back in the league...still better to get rid of him a year too soon than a year too late

[cdskins26]

Give him one more season to see what he can do. He has given us some good seasons and deserves a shot when reunited with his old coach.

[bigant]

bring him back,there is nobody out there that we can get that is better than him right now,plus his most successful years were with shanahan

[diehardskin2982]

not the for the money he is making. He needs a pay cut and conditioning/ practice clause in his new contract. When in shape he's a top 5 back. He hasn't been in trully great shape since Gibbs left.

[MTK]

He's got a lot of guaranteed money coming to him next year, so I don't see where he would have any incentive to take a cut. Unless you restructure him but that's not going to happen.

[Landry44]

I want he gone as soon as possible. The guy just don't have it anymore. Plus I and other Redskin fans are getting tired of his mouth. He's out stayed his welcome here.

[rbanerjee23]

I think we can all come to the consensus that he is no longer the dominant back that he once was and we don't want him if a younger, cheaper RB can be slotted into Shanahan's system.

HOWEVER, for cap reasons, we have to keep him around for at least another year unless he agrees to restructure his contract.

Just food for thought...Portis is second on the Redskins all time rushing yards list and is a year removed from essentially a 1500 yard season...throwing him out to pasture despite his recent comments might be a little too hasty

[over the mountain]

we played a very fine line with the cap by being creative and restructuring contracts for years. we have restructured contracts to portis, ARE, samuels, moss(?) and probably some others. one day all that future guaranteed money had to stack up. by the grace of something holy it looks like we get a cap-free, purge yourself of bad contracts season coming to us.

i honestly think the DS for the past year or 3 (def the AH contract) has planned for this uncapped year and made big moves with the thought in mind as to what kind of flexibility in that contract he would have come 2010. if he did, bless him its pretty savy imo but thats a costly "do over".
