Without Portis' contract we could have easily had Champ, Taylor, and Landry. PLus some crazy @ss vets.
Remember his contract was the highest ever for a running back until LT signed a bigger deal. His contract was in excess of 56 mil for 7 years plus a wicked signing bonus.
In the words of George Michael, while at a Wizards game, "You never pay that much money for a running back, when you can find them anywhere. The redskins messed around and are now MARRIED to the contract of Portis."
You only pay that to a quarterback who is your franchise, or to someone who defines your franchise. If he doesnt return to his prior form, then I dont think any skins fans will be upset to see him go.
