Portis for Champ?
INDIANAPOLIS -- Desperate to land a tailback who could make a major impact in new coach Joe Gibbs' run-oriented offense, the Washington Redskins are in discussions about a blockbuster trade that would bring them one of the NFL's premier young backs.
The proposed deal, which percolated here over the weekend at the annual draft combine sessions, would net the Redskins tailback Clinton Portis, who rushed for over 1,500 yards in each of his first two seasons with the Denver Broncos. In return for Portis, 22, Denver would receive Redskins four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey and perhaps one of Washington's choices in the 2004 draft.
-------
Portis would be a huge pickup for the Redskins. Champ Bailey is a great cornerback, but there are few CB's who can dominate a game, compared to a strong RB.
As for Denver, the way their scheme is and because of their line, they could line up virtually anyone behind the QB and rush for 1,200 (Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Terrell Davis....)
