Portis staying?

[skinsfaninok]

Shanahan has an "open mind" about Portis | ProFootballTalk.com.

CP and I were texting last night and he told me he wants to stay if the Skins will have him. Thinks the Skins are a playoff team and Campbell will have his best season as a pro.

Really can i borrow his number there are a few questions i would like to ask him?

Isn't Snyder's favorite player Clinton Portis? It wouldn't surprise me if Snyder lobbied hard on Clintons behalf to retain him on the roster.

Even Mr. Snyder has come to the realization that Portis's incendiary behavior has alienated many throughout the Redskins community. The antics he has put on display are not condusive to team building, he's going to have to change some things in order to remain a Redskin and I honestly don't think he can do it.

Charlie Casserly said he thinks if Portis comes in and hits the weight room and stays in shape he'll stay, if not, he's gone. He also said even though JC is not the usual type of QB in Shanny's system, Shanny has adjusted his offense to fit his QB in the past.

I have no problem with Portis the player. He's still only 28 years old, and he can still run.

I have a problem with the primadonna Portis:
- the one that criticizes teammates and coaches
- doesn't practice
- who has lost the support of the locker room

If he can fix those things, sure, we can keep him.

[Big C]

if we are financially tied to him regardless if he is with us or not, i think we may as well keep him. his legs will be fairly fresh compared to past seasons, and he is still our best option, or one of them.

Am I right in saying that if he was cut during the uncapped year we'd be clear so to speak (and by that Snyder would payout his entire SB during that year but it would clear off the books and not cost against the cap in future years)?

If that's the case, cut Randle El, Randy Thomas, Smoot, Collins, Betts and Portis.

Do we have to pay Samuels if he retires?

More likely than not we will enter the 2010 season as an un-capped year. It is also likely there won't ever be a salry capp again in the future, so in Portis's case it's six in one hand and a half dozen in the other. His contract has no capp ramifications because there won't be one.

CP will have a 1,500 yard season next year for the B&G...write it down!

PA-LEASE

1- This year is uncapped. If we are to get rid of the "Mortgaging Our Future" thought process Cerrato brought with him then now is the time to do it. I'd rather we payed him off and let him go. 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.
