¡¡¡¡Interesting Rumor!!!

I'm in San Diego and just heard on 690 sports station that there´s been a talk between the Chiefs and the Skins that will send Larry Johnson to the Redskins for Clinton Portis, P. Ramsey and this year's second rounder, I know we always hear this kind of rumors but I will sign it anytime.

That would be the MOST retarded trade not only in the history of the Redskins but the history of the ENTIRE NFL!

This is absolutely crazy. No les creas nada.

LJ is good, but c'mon - give up Portis, Ramsey & a 2nd round pick? Somebody is... -drinking

Larry Johnson is a beast but that is a rediculously stupid trade. I can't imagine that Gibbs would ever do something like that.

THE RAM · Post by **THE RAM** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:47 pm

Larry Johnson average more than 1700 yards and he only played in 8 or 9 games, he would have broken all records if he played the whole season, I'm sure this is crap but I would love this trade.

Trade Clinton? Not after this year. He's stepped into such a big "lead by example" role that it's hard to imagine trading him off.

I guess nothing is impossible, but I'm thinking this is rumor-mill only material.

I don't think that would happen and I hope it does not happen! I bet it is just someone speculating or thinking it because of Saunders. LJ is good but come on, no way.

skinsRin · Post by **skinsRin** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:50 pm

I am not even sure if I would do it if it were straight up trade LJ for CP. I would really have to think about it, LJ is still a ? Portis is proven.

Larry for Portis and Ramsey? Sure, I'd do that. Larry for Portis, Ramsey, and a pick? I'll pass. Besides why would the Skins trade Portis after the way he's stepped up this year. Sure, Johnson would clearly be a better fit for the style of offense we run but Portis has done too much to get traded. This wont happen.

This would be a stupid trade.

I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to have LJ here. LJ is the PERFECT back for this sytem.

Id never trade Portis for him though. I like Portis for more than his yardage.

We have yet to see Portis in the new offense. Also, Larry Johnson doesnt come anywhere near the level of Portis when it comes to blocking and Portis is younger.

Im scared it may happen. Part of me says it might, a bigger part says no. I say no to the trade happening but IF any trade was to happen it'd more then likely be lopsided like the Bailey/Portis trade.

The Hogster · Post by **The Hogster** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:29 pm

We better not make this trade. That would in effect mean that we have given up Bailey, two second round picks, Portis and Ramsey all for ONE GUY.

Our net loss would be Two Pro-Bowl players, 2 first day picks and a capable QB for one Running Back?

I don't think in the long run this trade makes any sense whatsoveer. Maybe if Portis was like 30 years old, or something, but not in our situation.

I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this but: THAT WOULD PISS ME OFF!

Can anyone find something about this rumor anywhere?

Michaelf382 · Post by **Michaelf382** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:40 pm

One reason I could see Larry here is because he grew up around here and his dad coached here. I do not see this happening. We have portis locked up for 6 more years. Johnson is at the end of his contract ( 1 year left i believe) and he is gonna command big money. I love Johnson, being a psu fan, but portis is the heart and soul of this team and DOES ANYTHING ASKED OF HIM. TO an extent, there must be loyalty and i know Gibbs has that.

Not happening. The cap hit would be too great! We couldn't afford it.

No way we trade Portis.

Team Chemistry is way more important than an extra 1 Yard per carry.

Not going to happen, period.

interesting for sure but wow what an offseason if we have another blockbuster....cp is my man but larry would be my man too

MtSherwood7 · Post by **MtSherwood7** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:13 pm

NO NO NO!!! I think this would be a ridiculously stupid trade. While there is no denying that LJ is a beast, Portis is a much better teammate IMO and we need our 2nd round pick to shore up some other roster spots.

Hogfather · Post by **Hogfather** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:27 pm

Makes no sense!!! I agree with everyone that LJ is a beast, but here are my reasons that it won't fly.

1. Herm's system is made for a guy like LJ.
2. Herm has Trent Green who is light years a head of Ramsey and or any QB he has had before. Ramsey would only be depth and Collins can provide that.
3. Why make a trade for "O" when they clearly need "D". Why not trade Holmes (if he clears a physical) for some quality D. Whoever backups LJ will do fine, as anyone can run behind that O-Line.
4. This is my final thought which a few people have already mentioned. Portis is made for our system last years or this years system under Saunders. He fits it just as good if not better that LJ.

I'll take CP's leadership, power, blocking, desire to play hurt and outside speed any day of the week!

Just my My 2 cents

hkHog · Post by **hkHog** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:32 pm

Portis is a better blocker and the heart and sould of this team. There is no way we would trade this guy, I think there would probably be a rebellion on the team. What a way to kill chemistry.

Hit the nail on the head!!!

I would be totally against this trade. But what if CP has asked for a trade? It isnt too far feteched of an idea is it?

Players are strange now adays and it wouldn't surprize me if he wanted out of here thus the "possible" trade rumours.

The Hogster · Post by **The Hogster** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:36 pm

Clinton Portis would not ask for a trade with the size of his contract and all the escalators.
