Portis is coming back

Josh Portis - QB - Free Agent
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Seahawks plan to re-sign free agent QB Josh Portis.
Portis was signed by the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent following the 2011 draft, but he has never appeared in an NFL game. The soon-to-be 26-year-old was cut from the practice squad last November.

Time to step up or step out!

 

[Seahawksfan425]

Yes! Hope he takes advantage and proves to be a great back-up!

Get'em Josh.

million times more graceful than klaperick.

 

[SNDavidson]

Like a gazelle

 

[SDHawk]

Yes! Hope he takes advantage and proves to be a great back-up!

Get'em Josh.

His legs are skinnier than Goethels arms

 

[FlyingGreg]

Hopefully he has learned how to complete more than 1 of 6 passes like that game vs Oakland...

 

[Hawksfanatik]

I remember his throwing to be erratic. He needs work on his accuracy pretty bad.

More of a #3 project than a solid #2 IMO. Glad we are bringing in someone familiar though with potential.

 

[Missing_Clink]

The legend continues

 

[GoHawks]

The title of this thread is confusing with the word - Imminent ?

C'mon Portis.......Lets get rid of Flynn, and YOU just step up into that backup spot.

T'HELL with Tebow, McCoy, Pigpen and all the the wannabe hasbeens.

Take it Bee-otch !!!!!!!

 

[Blitzer88]

Throw must be excited.

 

[nwgamer]

I got the impression his nerves were a part of the Oakland game. He just needs some more snaps maybe. He would be a fine resigning imo.

 

[Throwdown]

Yessssssssssssssssssss!

 

[dunceface]

PORTIS! PORTIS! PORTIS!

 

[General Manager]

I like it he knows the team and hopefully he can prove himself worthy next year as a backup.

 

[gargantual]

Hope he comes back. I know, I know a lot of us geeked out over his performance on few drives in Preseason 2011, but if he could build on that, and he starts picking up some of Dangeruss's training traits....

...it'd be cool to see him succeed. I'd like to see how he handles read-option plays.

So it was a $3.25M saving trading Flynn so now a $3.5M saving?

Portis makes Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Tyler Thigpen and all the other dude's we've been talking about look like Hall of Famers.

Wow that's kinda harsh. Admittedly, he's not the coolest passer under pressure, but there are aspects to his game that could be improved upon, especially with Russ around. I'm glad he's back, and at a very reasonable price I'm sure. He in all likelihood isn't going to see the field anyway.
