ESPN's Bill Barnwell thinks the Eagles and Patriots are two possible fits for free agent RB Clinton Portis.
Barnwell believes Portis, who will turn 30 in September, should age better than most backs since he's an intelligent runner who's never relied on breakaway speed. He thinks that coupled with Portis' elite pass-protecting abilities is what will make "pass happy" teams like Philly and New England interested. More than anything, Portis has to prove he can get healthy.

I don't know how much he has left but we could use a physical runner in the backfield.

would be an upgrade to the Fred Taylor role, if only because its hard to believe he would be less healthy

I would happily take Portis in a back up role if he's healthy and the price is right.

Maybe. It could save us a pick that would normally be used on a RB.

jsull87

basically this is the reason i like it. He's a good runner who's strength is pass blocking and was a featured back. He can't do any worse than fred taylor who just couldnt get on the field. It would save us a pick that could go to other areas where we actually ned young talent more e.g OL and OLB

And people thought Fred Taylor sitting on the sidelines was annoying....

Off The Grid

I'm with YOU, Bro.

RB's with talent and fresh legs are PLENTIFULL in each and every Draft Class.

I pray to GOD we're done hauling in 30 Somethings who break down every 5 minutes or so.

This guy has a 10 cent head. No thanks. He'll ***** if he isn't carrying the ball a majority of the time.

Aging back that no one really wants anymore. Sounds like a Patriots RB candidate!
