Portis to NE, for 2 1rd picks

This rumor is total nonsense. There are more rumors out there than you can shake a stick at, and 99% have one thing in common - they're horse hockey.

Gmanc711 · 02-29-2004, 01:31 AM

Yeah, this rumor is rediculous and would be a VERRRRY dumb trade on our part. I mean we trade the 42nd pick and Champ Bailey, esentially for the 21st and 32nd picks??? Thats obsurd . I havent heard it anywhere, and hope that I dont have too.

This trade makes no sense to me either. I find it hard to believe and even though it came from the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" just remember even they have been wrong before....how many draft picks did we get from the Dolphins when they named Spurrier coach? you see my point?

This is the link to Extremeskins where I first read about the rumor.

Yeah I saw it there too, and it was supposedly on espnradio. I havent heard it though. Or dont know what show it came from

If this is true, this has got to be the dumbest move the Skins could make. What the hell's the point? 2 first round picks? Niether one would be as good as Portis. New England's picks are low and we couldn't get a decent runner at that spot. There aren't even that many decent runners in the draft. This would be absolutely ridiculous!

I've heard about contact between the Skins and Pats but not in relation to a deal to send Portis to NE.

What I heard was that IF the Bailey/Portis deal is finalized, the Skins are looking to acquire more draft picks and would trade down from the #5 slot. Supposedly, they contacted the Pats to see if they could have the two low first rounders from the Pats for the #5 pick. The answer to that was "NO".

The way it stands now - I hear - is that if the Skins get the early first round pick from the Pats they will also get a 3rd round pick with it. If they take the lower first round pick they then get a second with it.

Obviously, I don't have the phones bugged in the Redskins' office - or in the Pats' office - so this is third hand info at best.

Of those two choices, I would prefer they take the lower first round pick and a second roung pick. But that's just me...

I don't see this happening, but in DC anything is possible. :o

This rumor is total BS. Has to be.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 03-01-2004, 07:56 PM

Yeah, there goes Channel 9's credibility. Oh wait, they didn't have any to begin with.

SmootSmack · 03-01-2004, 08:08 PM

In defense of channel 9 what they said was that there was speculation that Portis might be traded to New England for their 2 firsts. And with Portis it would be difficult to keep Law so he could be released and the Skins could possibly go after him

Scott · 03-01-2004, 08:36 PM

so when do the rumors start about what we are gonna do with our pick? Anybody on this site have access to sensitive info about what direction the skins are leaning for the draft?
