I have said from the beginning of this thread that I think trading for Portis is a great idea.
Giving him that much money is ridiculous. Portis still had a contract for about 6 figures a season. With nobody else seriously bidding against them, the Redskins just dump a truckload of money at him.
Even if Portis does run for 1,700 yards--in the end, this will cripple them with the salary cap.
The trade---brilliant. The contract---idiotic.
