Much like CP's reduced role Sellers just doesnt do enough to justify his spot on the roster. Except for Torrain I really think the Skins need to clean house at RB.

Can't call Portis injury prone and then defend Torain. Portis doesn't get hurt in warm-ups.

Portis can still run the ball. He can't break it and beat the safeties anymore (and really hasn't been able to for about four years). Neither can Torain. Portis is still a much better, more natural runner than Torain. And a better blocker. And pass receiver. Probably no more injury prone either.

Is he $8 million better? Probably not. But if you don't feel that Portis is worth even half his salary, you can release him and Torain and start over at the position. I think Portis is worth close to his salary. Not in excess of it, but close to it.
