HokieSkinsFan Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 ESPN Radio reported that right after the Skins get Portis, it's a possibility that he will be traded to New England for both of their 1st round picks. :yikes: As wild as this rumor sounds, there is a piece of evidence that supports it: the fact that the Skins haven't signed Portis to a new contract yet.

TheDarb Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If it's true, we better get more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hmmmm, I would than expect the Redskins to take those two first round picks they get from NE and trade way up to get a RB. But if they do that, why not just keep Portis? Unless they don't want to pay him. Which I wouldn't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Redskin Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I have been telling anyone who would listen that the pats would not trade their two first rounders for our #5,. but they would have to be crazy not to take portis. I don't really believe this maybe if we got seymour and their firsts but otherwise that would be a crazy trade for us to make, I mean we would get what not udeze or will smith, and a couple of the rbs would be gone too. Just seems crazy to me, I don't actually think they would trade seymour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy2Der Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Nooooooooooo this is stupid then why the hell are we giving up are 2nd I was just getting use to the idea of Portis tearing up Dallas D. It makes sense though because the Broncos wouldn't want to send Portis to a team in their conference. Plus they definitely would not want to give him to the super bowl champs so why not ask the skins to get him then trade him to them for their two first rounder.

redblazer00 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 This is total garbage! How come we would over pay to get Portis if we then were just going to turn around and give him away? Only the #21 and #32 picks in the draft! That is not even close to a fair trade. I would say for the #21-#32-#57-#64-#96 and Richard Seymour and we would have a deal. This guy is a top flight Half Back is is more valuable then 2 first rounders after all look at what we gave up for him Champ who is worth 2 first or more by himself and a very high second rounder. I think ESPN is just reaching for some news and making up stories to stur up things in the media. Give me a source that is reliable otherwise I mark this as CRAP.

Oldskool Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I heard this before on this board.. We take our no 5 pick for the Texans #10 and their second round pick We take Portis and trade them to NE for the 21st and the 32nd pick and then we get Staley as a FA. So we end up with 3 - 1st round picks (10th, 21st and 32nd) as well as recover our 2nd round pick that we lost with Bailey and possibly a 3rd thrown in there for good measure to recoup what was lost in the Brunell trade.

Skins11 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If this is true, then why would the Redskins have already tried to make a contract with Portis which was unsuccessful so far? That was another rumor flying around. And why give up the the 2nd round pick? It was obvious that after franchising Bailey, we could have received some picks as compensation, including at least one first rounder. The Skins trading Portis would be a really roundabout way of doing things. Also he is worth way, way, WAY more than 2 low first rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Redskin Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 so in escense we would be trading bailey and the 37th pick for the 21st and 32nd picks, why don't we just throw in arrington too, jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Redskin Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 the only truth I can possibly see in this would be NE offering it but we would have to be insane to except, but it would be awesome to get richard seymour not likely though you can dream though.

citigent Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 espn also says ramsey is going to be traded even though gibbs denies it every time, there rumors are getting bad, seems like the only creditable stories are coming from local papers.

marhobo2 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Regardless of what others think, I like it. Hope it's true. I don't like giving the 2nd rounder along with Champ. I am also uneasy about Portis' attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarb Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I heard on local radio here in Jacksonville that it could include Ty Law, who was "insulted" at the Pats recent contract offer. (Yeah, yeah, I know - more unfounded rumors - from Jacksonville no less where local radio is all Gators all the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Master Jay Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 It doesn't make sense at all. What makes sense is keeping Champ and finding a RB. We dont have to make this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I would have to say that lookoutforlavar hit it on the head. Why give up Bailey and our 2nd rd pick for the two low picks? Doesn't make sense to me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
