Adeel (D.C.): Mort, Is there any truth behind the rumors that Portis might be traded? What value does he have on the market?
http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/sn2.gif Chris Mortensen: I've read the rumors but it's not high on my radar right now. I have some doubts because the Redskins would get diminished value for Portis, who is coming off shoulder surgery.

Mort is pretty solid in his reporting, seems to always get accurate info. CP will be w/us a while longer at least.

I wish his response was a little more emphatic. I'd hace loved a "That's not going to happen. The rumors are hogwash." The basic"Well I haven't heard anything" response doesn't make me so comfortable.
That fact that he hasn't heard anything tells me it's pretty clear these rumors aren't based on any solid info.

Hmmm, this thread reminds me of another conversation we were having back on January 8th... (http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-locker-room/16717-broncos-interested-portis-2.html#post268343)
"Damaged goods" anyone?
As someone once said
It's alway's nice to pull up an old thread and see who got it right.
I'll have to start keeping score too I guess.

I can see it now, Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Matty's the red one, Offiss is the blue one, and Offiss' head just got pwned.

I believe that's what I've been saying all along, other teams view Portis as damaged only I think I used the word dinged. I also doubt CP is going anywhere but I think Redskins fans would be shocked (in a bad way) with what they would get for CP in a trade.

i think the word trade needs to be reevaluated around this team. first we need to figure out why we do it.... then we need to figure out who to do it with..... then we need to figure out how to make a positive trade in our favor without pissing away draft picks.
when i hear trade anytime envolving the redskins i always think the worst, and im never dissapointed. at least not recently that is.
