USATODAY.com - Redskins designate Bailey as franchise player
Obviously it wasn't "phat" enough. Your article states that there were clauses that Bailey wasn't happy with and he ended up walking.

I didn't want to turn this into rehashing the Portis/Champ deal but honestly it was a terrible move to ship out the elite player in the league at a premier position (I consider LT and CB as two premier positions right behind QB) and a second rounder for an interchangeable part (RB). Hindsight being 20/20 I would think most people could see that the Redskins definitely got the worst end of the deal.

I love Portis, he is a great runningback but he has done nothing to put himself in the same sentence as John Riggins. There is some fools gold in his stats here and he had two chances to put the team on his back when we needed it in a playoff game and it didn't happen.

Charley Taylor was a pretty good back too...
