If you guys get a chance pick up the latest copy of ESPN The Mag (Jermaine O'Neal is on the cover). There's a nice little article about Portis in there (pg. 42)
One interesting thing is that it says Gibbs plans on using Chamberlain similar to the way Shannon Sharpe was used in Denver, sounds like they have big plans for BC

Don't worry about Chamberlain. I bet he'll look a lot more in shape come the season. Gibbs is a great motivater. I can't spell this morning (or any other day)

BC has talent, and I think he'll come on strong with this coaching staff. The addition of Portis and LColes out there won't hurt, either!

I don't know why, but I always thought we cut Chamberlain already? was there talk of cutting him ever? or am I completely wrong?

People assumed he would be cut, because it would save like a million off the cap. But I remember reading a article in the post, which said Gibbs wants to wait and let BC get in shape. And then see what he can do. This is a guy who has been to the pro bowl but ovouisly has motivation problems. Hopefully Gibbs can get that back into him.
BC definitely has the talent necessary to be a very good TE, in 2001 he had 57 catches and averaged 11.7 ypc. And at 6-1, 265 he's got the size to be an effective blocker.
If this staff can't whip his sorry ass into shape again it's never gonna happen for him.
I believe the Skins picked up a contract bonus on BC to keep him on the roster, so he's definitely not going anywhere just yet.

Definitely interesting! Perhaps it's draft-day posturing on the part of Gibbs. Let's see what shape BC comes in for the first mini-camp. That will dictate whether or not Skins seriously consider Winslow. I think Winslow is awesome and I'd love for us to get him, but I'd prefer for us to shore up our defense with our draft pick(s)--we have way more deficiencies on that side of ball. Can't go wrong with Taylor!
