Drunken Master III Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 but... one of my football associates suggested that the best option for us would to trade Portis for a top 10 pick or possibly two first round picks. The reason he thought that this move is so great because we could then draft Adrian Peterson. I wouldn't pull that trade because I know that Portis is a true Redskin and he is the heart and soul of our offense. Thoughts? -don't know if it matters but he is a Cowgirl fan... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskin Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Portis is my favorite....but that really is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINSQ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 if we resign duckett and start him then we should trade portis to a team like the browns or lions for a 1st 2nd and a 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would give up that much for Portis, I mean we would. But no lets not give up our franchise player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfbovey Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The only reason you would trade Portis, is if you think he's on the decline. He's young, but also has alot of milage on him already... or ... if you can pull off a Herschel Walker type deal that would set the franchise up for years to come. I doubt there would be a deal like that on the table for a running back with the way the league is today. Teams just don't value runningbacks like that. Adrian Peterson is going to be a beast. IMO he has alot in common with Larry Johnson. I don't think either scenario is likely. Portis is going to be a Redskin for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think teams would be worried the pounding he's taken over the years is taking a toll. He's finsihed every season beat up. That and there's a nice crop of college RBs coming out the next couple years. The only player on the Skins roster that would bring a 1st rd pick is Taylor and maybe Moss.

grhqofb5 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Clinton Portis' trade value right now is at a low point. He's coming off 2 injuries, both requiring surgery. He's much more valuable to us if we keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat~man Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 wouldnt tade portis at all , not even for peterson , that guy has been injured throughout his college career , when he got here it would only get worse hes a great back but no thanx , keep what we have and draft defense , trade our 1st rounder for more picks we need more draft picks and we have to draft smart players on defense and sign some blue collar FAs thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbridge kid Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm kinda glad Portis gets the rest of the season off...we really rode him hard last year and this year..he needs the rest....and with Brunell having no deep ball, defenses were really keying on Portis....I think Portis will come back well rested and refreshed and have a great year next year...especially with Campbell at QB..

Cskin Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The Colts wanted to trade Edge and couldn't get a first rounder.... why on earth would a team give the Redskins a 1st rounder for Portis. This team needs to determine what offense (running scheme) Portis is most comfortable in and use it along with Saunders passing game. Additionally, we need an OL coach who understands what Portis wants and will teach blocking assignments accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Portis is going to be a Redskin for a while. That is a very good thing. I cant stand the player turnover... along with the coaching turnover like we have been the past few years. I just want a little stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 We are 3-0 this year when Portis rushes for 80+ yards. He's not just the cornerstone of the offense. He's the cornerstone of the team. His health is the single biggest reason for our decline this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meek Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I love Portis to death but I still am not sure how compatible he is with our offensive system...assuming of course that we do in fact have a coherent system to begin with which is a big assumption. Its hard enough to install a new regimine of play calls, but when you also throw into that that you have to have compatible players it makes things 10x harder. We've seen flashes of Duckett but what good is he if Saunders doesn't consider him to be his style of back? Same question for Portis exists with respect to the Gibbs philosophy. And that doesn't even begin to address our out-of-place O-linemen. There seems to me to be a lot of identity problems that will require some serious thought to fix and based on the actions of past offseasons its unfortunately hard to be too optimistic. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbridge kid Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 watch.......when Campbell establishes the deep game with the deep ball...you will see Portis put up monster numbers and long TD runs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSkinsfaninNJ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 watch.......when Campbell establishes the deep game with the deep ball...you will see Portis put up monster numbers and long TD runs.... I agree with that assessment. Of course, there is one other component to both JC and CP putting up monster numbers, that's our offensive line. I keep hoping that the changes on offense have contributed to some of the problems, or it's injuries that haven't been made public. Unfortunately, I just think Jansen is regressing. This is the one part of the team that has been together for a few years, yet, I think now they need changes. I'm still not sold on Samuels as a big time LT, he's a starter in this league, but this team needs dominant lineman. I want JC to have days to throw, and if Portis gets hurt again, it doesn't matter who we put in because the line will compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Betts is a third down back. The obvious thing to do is resign Duckett so we have a legitimate power back and keep portis but let Betts walk. Then unless there is a cant miss defensive lineman we can snag, trade down gathering as many picks as you can and draft lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyRules Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Portis might be the odd man out next year. He's been hurt two years in a row and it's possible that his running style does not match that of the offensive scheme. For one, I wouldn't be surprized in the least if he's gone next year.(Not that I would like to see him anywhere but in D.C.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
