The Portis move in hindsight

[freddyg12]

This was overall a bad trade, but we got a team leader & great player from it, who also seems to like being here & carrying on the tradition of redskins players that love the spotlight.
I'm tired of the 'Champ didn't want to be here' line. While it's true, we still had more leverage as someone pointed out earlier. We could've franchised him & waited for the right offer, i.e. not given up a 2nd rnd. pick.
Or we could've kept him here in GW's D & let Gibbs try & convince him that the team is headin in the right direction. So he was unhappy, how many people are unhappy w/their job for periods of time, but stay & eventually like it? Lots.
Champ is still the best & a top cb is harder to find than a good rb. I always thought Betts could carry the load. Of course, we'd need to draft a backup as he's been hurt, but its not hard to find a solid backup in rnds. 3-6.
