Portis is only pointing out the reality of being an NFL player. I don't understand why people are misrepresenting his statement. He simply said "If I don't do my job I'll probably be out of here." Truer words have never been spoken.
I don't want to think about CP unable to go. However, if he cannot, how big is the Bett's contract extension?

My thoughts exactly.
Oh and BTW, don't bother reviewing the Portis-Bailey trade since Bailey wasn't sticking around D.C. anyways and we've talked about that trade ad nauseum.

Seriously. I don't understand why everyone thinks Champ would still be a Redskin if the trade never happened.

Technically the Skins could have put the franchise tag on Champ hence the trade.
Champ was not going to be here no matter what.
End of story.

I wish we had Champ and a draft pick back.
didn't we go over this, and over this, and over this? Bailey did not want to play here. and Portis speaks the truth about him and injuries. he had better get healthy, because no one can help their team from the trainers table. and that makes them expendable

I think this comment is closer to what he actually feels than most of the things he says, and I'd have to say that I agree. That's the way the front office does business in Washington. As soon as a player shows the slightest hint of having lost a step, he's expendable. Face of the team or not.
Yeah I really don't understand what the F people are just talking shit for. And the title for this thread is very misleading, he never says he wants to leave, he is just pointing out how our front office works and also on how many people now question his abilities.
He is worried for his job, not trying to leave DC. Way to overhype stuff on the Warpath once again people...

All the Chicken Littles around here...you'd think the sky was actually falling. C-Po knows how to play the game, and knows that there is a capable 1000 yard back waiting in the wings. End of story.

The title was pulled directly off of SI.com and I tried to clarify in the first post that this wasn't that big of a deal. I could have used "Portis says this could be his last year with the skins if he doesn't perform as well as he is expected to due to injury or simple physical degradation" but I wasn't sure it would fit...
