I LOVE THE ARTICLE ON DOUG GABRIEL, MAYBE THIS WILL BE A WAKE UP CALL TO MR. PORTER. PERSONALLY I WOULD TRADE HIM TO A TEAM THE NEEDS A RECEIVER AND GET SOME PICKS FOR NEXT YEARS DRAFT. I HOPE ART SHELL PUTS HIM IN HIS PLACE. THERE'S NO WHINING IN FOOTBALL MR.PORTER.

Most excellent article on Doug Gabriel. It seems that since Porter got his big money contract, he thinks that he can now just sit back and collect a paycheck. This kind of competition can maybe light a fire under his a** and get him going again. If not, then trade him for a few extra picks right now while his trade value is fairly high.
