The Skins are now talking to DENVER for Portis.
Denver wants Bailey and this year 2nd rounder for Portis. The Skins wnated an even up deal. The Skins don't have a 2nd because they will give that up to JAX for Mark Bru(over the HILL)nell.
I have a simple solution: deal the players and swap 1st rounders. HA!
This is becoming very interesting. Especially to any Quentin Griffin owners out there.

Just doin' my homework... Here are the official reports from "the Gridiron Newsstand" and "The REAL Feed" on this would-be WHOPPER of a trade:

As to this peripherally related discussion, while I personally as a Broncomaniac  would like to see them go with Mike Anderson as their #1 tailback if this Bailey-Portis deal actually goes through, it seems as though he would be the odd-man-out according to this local report off "the Gridiron Newsstand":
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/broncos/article/0,1299,DRMN_17_267 6142,00.html.
I, for one, just do not think Griffin is the answer... too small and way too unproven.

I read the same article Stegey. I would like to see Anderson go somewhere else too. He is a bit long in the tooth now, but still a solid player. Even though he has only been in the league for 4 yrs and will be 31 in September '04.
A guy who lives in Den has told me that they are going to go with Griffin. He is a a bit short, but so was Emmitt. He actually is built like Emmitt. Emmitt is listed at 5'10", but really is only 5'8.5". Griffin is no Emmitt of course, but worth noting. I am not comparing him to Emmitt by any means, but small guys can produce. Dunn is 5'7" , not a stud, but does produce decent stats.
I know my comments are more from the hopeful side since I have him in 1 league. So just disregard all this BS talk.

Okay, as per sources available on "the Gridiron Newsstand", here is where the Bailey-to-Denver part of the deal stands on its own apart from where the Portis-to-Washington part of the deal stands:

Anyway, he is probably too small to be an every-down back, but the Broncos seem to be able to find a solid back in the draft every year.
have already agreed to a 7-year, $63 million deal. Only protocol holds this deal up now.
