TJ would be a wasted roster spot and contract.

I heard from a few different NFL Network or ESPN guys saying that Atlanta is shopping him and it will probably be for a low round draft choice. He's under contract, the skins would only need to resign him to a new deal if they wanted to.
The skins do have a lot of good backs, but it's a fact that none of the current backs excell in short yardage situations. if they did they would not have been in shot gun half the time in short yardage situations. I only want Ducket for short yardage and goaline...I am not sugesting that Portis should lose a significant portion of his carries.
