There's one big problem with this.We don't have a 3rd or a 4th.So you think Detroit is going to go for our 3rd or 4th next year?I am willing to bet they want a pick this year.

I pray he goes to Denver. If the Lions want a 3rd this year (which we don't have), we'll have to give up next year's 2nd. If the Lions want a 4th this year (which we don't have), we'll have to give up next year's 3rd.

Moreover, Bly will be 30 before the season starts.

So my best friend is a Jets fan, and he belongs to the GangGreen Message board (pretty much the Jets equivalent of the Warpath, but nowhere near as good :-)). He said there is talk all over the place of Portis and #6 pick to the Jets for Vilma and the #25 pick. And we all know our history of doing business with the Jets. What about this deal? I could do it.. Vilma is the best young middle linebacker in football. And with the 25th pick we could possibly get DE like Jarvis Moss from Florida or Anthony Spencer from Purdue. Then just resign Duckett and start Betts?? This might be worth a seperate thread...

I moved to Florida from DC 7 years ago (I'm moving back this July thank God), and I don't have the benefit of any Redskins radio. I heard Adalius Thomas is very high on our radar as well?? Can anyone confirm?

i only go through with the deal with the jets if it is ladell betts not portis who we are trading.

diehardskin2982 · 02-27-2007, 07:02 PM

I'd trade betts before Portis. I thought the original rumor was portis for Bly and their 1st rounder... I could be wrong though

that is stupid to get rid of portis and bly isnt that bad he is still solid and smoot and bly would be good ok maybe a 4th rounder for next year

GhettoDogAllStars · 02-27-2007, 11:15 PM

We'd be stupid to trade for anyone, unless it involves our 5th, 6th, or 7th round pick this year (or possibly Betts if the deal is heavily stacked in our favor). Plain and simple: we don't have ANYTHING to trade.

If we end up trading away ANY picks from next year's draft, I'll be sincerely disappointed in Gibbs. I will definitely lose most, if not all, trust in him.

As for Portis, he's our best player. As far as I'm concerned, there is no question about that. Why would we trade away our best player (and give up picks, to boot)? There are only two players I would trade Portis for: Peyton Manning and LT. I would also consider trading him for 3 1st round picks. That will never happen, so forget about trading Portis.

Ya no shit. **** trading Portis. It has been hammered into the ground already but heres my 2 pennies. Portis IS the Washington Redskins. Let me repeat.

PORTIS IS THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS! He embodies what the core of this team is. He (almost) singlehandedly took us to the playoffs last year. The man is the shit. He's young and beastly and he aint going NOWHERE. If we traded him for anything but 3 first rounders and a second next year, I would make a point to FORGET that the redskins existed for the next 4-5 years.

I agree with this. I Love Clinton Portis and I don't care who knows it. He's the best football player on our team and I think next year in all of football. You heard it here tonight for the first time. Portis will be the MVP in 2007. Take it to the bank. No way they would trade him. Betts, maybe, but not Clinton. Gibbs would never do that to him.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 02-28-2007, 01:14 AM

AMEN! Portis is a monster. Ya ok, his numbers maybe not be 19 carries for 652 yards and 9 TD's but, who cares? Portis has the skill to get it done. He gets those crucial 2-5 yards for the first. He fights for that extra "oomph" at the goaline. Portis has a nose for the endzone only rivaled by LT's presence. I would say he isnt even rivaled by LT but, that stop on 4th and 1 in the dallas game came to mind so, scratch that.

The man plays hurt and plays hard. He is a winner.

WINNER. Period. Betts is great but, he's not a winner. Portis can close the deal. You KNOW that barring some soul-selling miracle, Portis will not make that fumble a la' Betts in the ST. Louis game to send it into OT.

Portis is GOD.

Dre Bly speculation from the Detroit News:

Broncos, Redskins show interest in Bly

I'm still hearing there's another team at the top of the list.

I think this Dre Bly thing is bunk. I don't think he's a GW corner, he doesn't hit and he doesn't support the run. I think GW is zeroed in on Clements.
