CLINTON PORTIS RUMORS
Clinton Portis hints at retirement
Clinton Portis’s many media appearances this week didn’t lead to any definitive statement on his football future. He sure seems done, but you kind of expect that he’ll come out and say it at some point.

The Clinton Portis Legacy
When the Washington Redskins released running back Clinton Portis on March 1, 2011, the curtain came down on one of the most mercurial, memorable careers in team history.
His was truly a shooting star—sometimes brilliant, often frustrating, never ordinary.

Can Clinton Portis still be an effective running back?
The Washington Redskins wasted little time in releasing veteran RB Clinton Portis after the conclusion of the 2010 NFL season, but can the free agent running back still be an effective player in the league going forward?
