Popular Redskins Player, Clinton Portis, Discusses Departure

Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Friday evening that the Redskins will allow Clinton Portis to shop himself to other teams and that they only would bring the 10-year veteran back at a significantly reduced figure. Shanahan shared, “If we’re not going to sign Clinton to that high salary, I’ll let him test the market out. Not to say we don’t want him, but for a lower price, and obviously we’ll try to find the best deal. It could happen. I don’t want to say right now. If I said that, usually I’m being pretty honest with you. Could be two days from now, could be three days from now.”

As far as Portis has shared with the media, there seems to be no love loss. “There is no reaction. This is a business. You’ve got to understand that. I don’t think the Redskins owe me anything. I enjoyed my time in D.C. I think I made the most of time here. I’m appreciative of everything they’ve done for me. I had a good time and enjoyed myself. If it’s time to move on, I’ll do that.” Peep the Washington Post for the full story.
