Wasn't Champ's deal cheaper than Portis'?
I don't know how you could prefer having an above average runningback over the best corner in football when we have been trying to replace Champ for 3 years now.
Now, shoulda coulda woulda, we don't have Champ, we have Portis. I think Portis' comments hold a lot of truth. He is being paid like one of the top backs in the league and Betts is more than capable. Portis gets called dumb a lot by fans and the media but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Washington will drop you like a bad habit when you become too expensive in their eyes. Hell, he may already be gone next year even if he puts up 2000 combined yards. I would be willing to bet a lot of money that either Washington, Griffin or Portis are let go along with Springs in the offseason, especially if we sign Cooley long term.
And don't run with my statement as a negative on Portis. Portis is a S T U D and Bett's couldn't hold his jock strap.
