Portis Agrees to $51M Deal With Redskins

[RFKRat]

Here is my take:

1) I agree, I don't like giving up the second rounder...but a) since Champ would have been out of here for nothing at some point, I can live with getting a potential 2,000 yard RB in return. b) I'm hoping the Skins move someone to get the 2nd (or a 3rd rounder) back and c) the bottom line is we're getting an awesome offensive weapon and I can overlook the pick going.

2) We didn't have to do the contract, but I'm glad we did. This means Portis won't bring any baggage or negative feelings about getting his contract worked out. We're showing we wanted him here, he's got to like that and be enthusiastic to play here.

3) Is Kearse really someone to go ape over? If he's healthy he'd be a great pickup, but with his injury problems there might be other options out there...maybe the Skins have already passed him over...who knows?

4) I'm going to trust that the Redskins know what they're doing with the Cap.
