WP:Bailey's Contract

Let's begin our math class, open your books to Chapter 11,

Clinton Portis - 2nd round pick > 1st round pick + LaMont Jordan

LaMont Jordan....yeah he'd be great we don't have enough backups warming the bench for a real running back. 1st rounder=Portis, okay find me ANY first rounder worth Clinton Portis, so far I don't see one. This guy is sick. It's not just the system, has anyone seen how this guy can move? Plus he's a good blocker.

Your equation is missing an element, it should read:

Clinton Portis - 2nd round pick < 1st rounder + Lamont Jordan + 2nd rounder

Actually you wouldn't add the 2nd round pick onto the other side of the equation since it has already been factored in on the left side. Trust me, I'm Asian I'm good at math. :D

Washington Redskins> REST OF NFL

Ramseyfan - that's some funny stuff. I'm running these various equations up to CALTECH today.

right, the equation factored out should look like this:

Clinton Portis < LaMont Jordan + 1st Round

Yes Portis has rushed for 5 yards a touch behind a great offensive line that is known to be dirtier than Ric Flair (wooooooooooooo)...Jordan has potential to be a good stable back, and we'd have some leverage with 2 first round picks. There are several quality RBs in the draft this year (Jackson, K. Jones, Perry, Cobbs, G. Jones, Turner) that we could pick up in the 2nd round (Portis was a 2nd round pick for a reason). If the O-Line gets better and better, you could have our grandmothers run behind it and be successful.

To me, we would be overpaying for Portis...but with the disappointments i've seen over the last 10 years since Gibbs left...my hopes aren't up...

Ideally, we further our Jetskins name, pick up Jordan and a 1st rounder...get Taylor at #5, defensive lineman at #12, RB in 2nd round...drop Betts and/or Candidate, and get ready for the season.

NO secondary = loss

Solid secondary players (no stars, except SMOOOOOOOOOOOOT) + good coaching/cover D's = wins

(take a look at Tampa's coverage)

Just my take.

If we can get a great line that will cause pressure it will be worth it also we will most likely sign Shawn Springs

Have any of you seen a Broncos game Portis is a monster, he has tourching speed and, unlike Trung he knows how to use it plus he rearly fumbles. This is great deal for us because we get results now this guy is not a back up with potiential. He is the focal point of the Denver offense. :D Awsome pick up and great deal because we can resolve his contract after we pick up everyone else we want or need in the FA

diehardskin2982:

Be careful about thinking that you can pick up all the FAs you want/need and then re-doing Portis' deal. What he wants is a monstrous signing bonus so even if you make it a long deal, there will be a cap hit even in the first year when he takes a minimum salary.

If the Redskins make the trade, they will have cap room to play with, but they need to deal with Portis and save some room for him. If not, they risk having an unhappy player next year - not part of the Joe Gibbs formula - or having to cut other players to make room for his contract at the last minute.

LaMont Jordan hasn't shown the potential to be anything other than a short-yardage back. I think the Jets know they can do without him, and are hoping his Maryland pedigree will be a selling point for us. Portis may have his faults, but they don't lie within his on-field performance or his potential - Jordan's faults do.

Don't be so sure we won't have the Jets first rounder, anyway. I see them as prime candidates for a trade-up scenario. If they don't make waves in free agency (and they probably won't), Bradway will need to make a big pick to save his skin...again. (And trading up for DeWayne Robertson worked so well last time!) If we decide to trade down, the Jets will be listening.
