Why keep an injury prone, lazy ass RB on the squad when you have Shanahan who can just about make any RB a star with his system at a cheeper price? Who would be younger and healthier.

2- His legs may be fresh but what about his foot? Plus he's more easily prone for concussions now that he's already had one.

3- As I stated before, In Shanahans system he can turn a 7th round RB into a star.

4- At this point Portis, Betts, and Rock all need to go since they are 30 or close to it. We need younger healthier RB's. Ganther has proven to be a similar style of back as the others so I'd keep him and see what Shanahan can do with him. We picked up Alridge again most likely cause Shanahan loves him. Maybe pick a RB up in later rounds.

Yup!

Shannahan has an open mind all right. He can't wait to see what happens with the uncapped year so he can cut him. He traded him in his prime and I'd venture to say he wouldn't hesitate to cut an aging cancer like Portis.

Portis career is almost over as an every down back. The list is long of 29-30 year old backs with a lot of miles on them (Jamal Lewis, Edge, Earl Campbell, Eddie George, Emmitt Smith, more recently LT) that hit the wall.

Time to move on.

Yea Shanny traded Portis but I think he would rethink doing that trade again. Portis was just hitting his stride with Denver he would have put up huge numbers. Champ still did not make the defense that much better. Portis would have made more of an impact then Champ.

in a couple of years Denver will be celebrating a Hall of Fame inductee...not us..{personally I think Bailey is an overstated product with a great agent}

You know I saw CP's bathroom on a TV show once and although we have never talked, I believe that we are best friends. In fact he told me (in my dreams) that he will be here next year after his greatest offseason, just to play for Shanny again.

Correct, SIR!

I won't be surprised to see him back, but it would definitely be under Shanahan's terms as far as him practicing regularly and being in top condition.

Not really excited about any of our RB's...Portis included...that's a hole that can't really be addressed this draft as we have MANY other needs.

haha serves the self important jerk right...for being a self important jerk

Portis is garbage. He's washed up. I dont know why some people still give him so much of a break...he has done everything in his power to implode the team, alienate his fellow players, and just generally be a nuisance.

Mark my words, there is absolutley no way that Portis agrees to Shanahan's terms. He is a guy who does not like to practice, work out, or attend any kind of extra meetings. He's a flabby slob on the field. Horrible conditioning. He is a gutless snake who talks crap about people behind their backs, because he's too much of a chicken shit to confront them, obviously because he knows his punk ass would get beat down.

Look at what he did to Sellars, and Jason Campbell. Both of that stuff was behind their back. A guy like him will never change his stripes. And if he stays here, somebody is eventually going to give him what he has coming to him....
