Portis for Larry Johnson

I heard an interesting rumor at the stadium yesterday that George Michael's of channel 4 is starting rumors of a Portis for Larry Johnson trade. Has anyone else heard that? Personally I think it would be terriffic. Johnson is more of the between the tackles back that Gibbs likes. Betts did a great job yesterday.

Clinton Portis is not a 'core Redskin' guy. He doesn't want to grind out the hard yards and doesn't have the heart to be on this team. He wants all the glory and only wants big plays not the '2 and 3 yard stuff' as he has stated in the past. What a mistake.

I guess we're in for a long offseason of rumors like this

:rolleyes:

I would consider it if a high draft pick came with Johnson. We gave up a lot to get Portis so trading him for a more unproven back even up is not a good value move. I do believe Portis is not the best fit though. I am not ready to run him out of town, but I will certainly listen to offers...

wow...I think we should definitly trade Portis. I mean, who would want a top five running back anyways with no oline. lol. Portis is our back for the future, we dont need to go screwing with our roster anymore.

Seriously, just stop it with the Portis trade rumors. It's just dumb.

It's funny, on one hand we have a bunch of people crying about the cap and our dead cap space, and on the other we have people who want to deal half the team away and further bury ourselves in the cap.

If you guys want cap hell, dealing/cutting guys with big contracts is the best way to do it.

Portis is untradeable because of his cap number.

Lets PLEASE stop talking about this.

I seriously want to know what some of you are smoking......


All I've been hearing lately is trade Portis, trade Lavar. Come on guys let's be a little more realistic.

We would be laughingstocks of the league if we traded LaVar and Portis, not just for the kind of players they are, but for the tremendous cap damage we would do.

Hell, while we're at it let's just cut Brunell, Barrow, Gardner & Samuels. I'd love to see that cap mess.

Why would KC want two of the highest paid backs in the league? They'd have Holmes and Portis. They know they need to upgrade their D. If they made this trade, I think they'd be the laughing stock. If we made it, we'd have to be on crack. Johnson had a good 4 or 5 games, let's give up one of the 5 best runners in the league for him! That's genius.
