Portis rushed for practically 1600 yards last year. That's almost as much total offense as we had!
I don't think we owe Portis a 2nd because there was a rumor he was going to hold out either this or next year since he was a pro bowl back making 300,000 a year. Both teams get a critical position to their team and both lose a player that doesn't want to be there anymore.
The Bronco's players all seemed to think this was some kind of joke on the news!
