Redskins may retain RB Portis

Although running back Clinton Portis has said that he does not expect to be retained by the Washington Redskins, he is still likely to continue wearing Redskins jersey for longer as running backs Coach Bobby Turner believes that Portis has something left.

"Oh, he definitely has something left," Turner told The Washington Post. "We were excited about Clinton when we drafted him. And I’ve looked at a bunch of (2009) games, I mean, pretty close to every one. Matter of fact, to be precise, I’ve looked at 14 games already. Not that he was in 14, but he definitely has something left."

Portis is turning 29 in 2010 and he played in only eight games last year with a concussion. And he could still earn $6.43 million of guaranteed money if he continues playing for the Redskins in 2010 season. As Turner also coached Portis when he was playing with the Denver Broncos, what he said of Portis could be right.
