connoisseur series500 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Denver will trade running back Clinton Portis to Washington Redskins in return for Champ Bailey. Portis?? Well, he was a second round draft choice and has a low salary. He has already threatened to sit out training camp. The Broncos have a great system for producing excellent running backs and were pleased with the prospects of backup running back, Griffin (forgot his first name.) He tore holes in the Indianapolis defensive line in a late season game. The Redskins have cap issues and have to get rid of Bailey. The deal has not yet been worked out because the Broncos are seeking a second round draft pick as well. Gibbs wants a bigtime running back. This deal will go through. Quote

Portis is a real star, but the Broncs have a way of finding terrific running backs. Also Champ Bailey is no slouch. Quote
