Ex-Redskins RB Clinton Portis will announce his retirement at a press conference on Thursday.

Portis was reportedly intent on returning to play this season after going unsigned in 2011, but he never received serious interest. Turning 32 in two weeks, Portis' explosion had evaporated by the 2009 season due to heavy workloads and an assortment of leg injuries. A colorful two-time Pro Bowler who often dressed in costume and created characters such as Southeast Jerome and Coach Janky Spanky, Portis finishes his career 27th on the all-time rushing list with 9,923 yards. In addition to earning 2002 offensive rookie of the year honors, Portis also boasts five top-10 fantasy seasons. Tue, Aug 21, 2012 03:00:00 PM

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent Clinton Portis says he's not officially retired just yet, but is "cool" with the idea of not playing again.

"I feel great, man. We’ll see what happens," said Portis, 30. "Being away for so long, who knows? I think I’m cool with the idea of either — if I get another opportunity or if not — to move on in life. ... I think I’m enjoying where I’m at right now." If this is it for Portis, he'll finish a nine-year career with 9,923 rushing yards. He was a top-eight fantasy back five times.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Scout.com reports free agent Clinton Portis has two upcoming visits scheduled, and has been contacted by four teams since the beginning of free agency.

The report doesn't name any of the teams, and it's unclear why clubs would wait until the beginning of free agency to contact Portis when he could have been freely signed since February 2011. Portis appeared near the end as he struggled through injury and ineffectiveness in 2009 and 2010, and will turn 31 in September. He's likely played his final NFL down.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent Clinton Portis is intent on returning to the NFL after sitting out last season.

Portis has been medically cleared by private doctors after battling concussions and an assortment of leg injuries that limited him to eight games in 2009 and five in 2010. His agent claims a "handful" of teams have already shown interest, however tepid that may be. With evaporated playmaking ability, Portis won't offer more than pass blocking and perhaps short-yardage prowess at age 31.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Bengals worked out free agent RBs Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson on Tuesday.

According to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora, Portis has already taken a physical and could be signed for depth with Cedric Benson facing a three-game suspension. He wouldn't see much playing time behind Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora hears that free agent Clinton Portis had a "strong" workout for the Titans on Tuesday.

"Ran well and could be signed in next week or so," says LaCanfora. We'd advise skepticism, as the report could be agent-driven. The Titans are "monitoring" Javon Ringer's back this week. Portis would only be signed as backup insurance if Ringer's back tightens up again.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

The Titans will work out free agent Clinton Portis on Tuesday.

Since mid-August, Portis has worked out for the Patriots, Dolphins, and Seahawks, and has yet to sign. Tennessee is healthy in the backfield, so this may just be a workout to update the team's "emergency list." Portis turned 30 earlier this month. He's only a blitz-protection specialist at this point in his career. Also working out for the Titans: Aaron Brown, Chase Reynolds, Javarris Williams, and Lonyae Miller.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

The Seahawks will work out free agent Clinton Portis this week.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that no signing is imminent, but we wonder if the workout indicates concern with Marshawn Lynch's ankle injury. Lynch has been sidelined since last week and is already ruled out for the preseason finale. Portis is no more than a blitz-pickup specialist at this point.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent RB Clinton Portis has reportedly informed teams he is willing to pay his own way to fly to workouts.

Portis' desire to play football obviously remains strong, but apparently not to the point that he stayed in NFL shape during the lockout. Two weeks shy of his 30th birthday, Portis' chances of landing a job before the regular season do not seem particularly high.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent RB Clinton Portis worked out for the Dolphins Tuesday, a source tells ProFootballTalk.com.

The Dolphins are likely just kicking the tires to see Portis' conditioning level. Reports out of Boston last week indicated Portis showed up to his Patriots workout out of shape. Although Daniel Thomas has been a disappointment this preseason, he's obviously not losing his job to a broken down Portis.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent Clinton Portis reportedly showed up "incredibly out of shape" to his Friday workout with the Patriots.

Portis reportedly shed 25 pounds in two weeks leading up to the workout, so it sounds like he's been sitting on the couch all weekend. He "wasn't fit at all," according to the Boston Globe. Portis won't be signing anywhere soon.

The Patriots worked out free agent Clinton Portis on Friday.

New England continues to update its street free agent list. Portis, who turns 30 in two weeks, has generated zero interest on the open market to this point. He finished last season with 227 yards on 54 carries in Washington. The Patriots already have a loaded backfield, so we wouldn't expect a signing soon.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

ESPN's Adam Schefter hasn't heard of any interest in free agent RB Clinton Portis.

No surprise here. The market for running backs with tread left on their tires has been dry. So you know that a guy like Portis who turns 30 in September and has 2,230 career carries is going to struggle to find a home. Portis will need more training camp injuries to get a look.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Free agent Clinton Portis' first choice is to play for the Giants this year.

He originally wanted to play for the Saints, but realizes that's a pipe dream after the Mark Ingram selection. Portis cited the Giants' offensive line and a run-oriented philosophy while also making it clear that a priority is "a quarterback who had the opportunity to really run his system." Portis listed Michael Vick, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady as other signal-callers he'd like to join. We're not confident that the 29-year-old will land a guaranteed contract this summer.

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Redskins released RB Clinton Portis.

The move takes Washington off the hook for $25 million over the next three years. Portis' salary was scheduled to be $8.254 million in 2011. Now 30 years old, Portis leaves D.C. as the Redskins' second all-time leading rusher, 648 yards behind John Riggins. After 2,230 career carries, however, Portis' tank is just about running on empty. At tailback, the Skins will move forward with Ryan Torain, Keiland Williams, James Davis, and whomever they pick up during the offseason.

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Robert Griffin III's (ACL, LCL surgery) father says his son has been throwing footballs since April and insists RG3's recovery remains "on cue." "Robert is doing extremely well as far as the timetable," said RG2. "He's been doing a lot overtime, he never stops. He was throwing some prior to the draft. Everything seems to be on cue. Everybody in the organization is targeting that season opener." RG3 tore his right ACL at Baylor four years ago. "He might be a little ahead of himself in terms of doing what he did then compared to now," RG2 said. "He's smarter, stronger, wiser." May 17
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Roy Helu (toe surgery) recently suffered a setback, but is "nearly 100 percent." It's unclear how that works, but coach Mike Shanahan wasn't concerned at his Wednesday presser. It's just another reminder of Helu's fragility. Helu will battle Evan Royster for third-down duties in camp. Apr 24
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Speaking in a Wednesday presser, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Fred Davis (Achilles) has made "strides," but the team won't know how far he's progressed before OTAs. Davis is six months removed from the Achilles' tear, and expects to be fully cleared by June. Despite Davis' bullish outlook, he's a strong candidate to begin camp on active/PUP, with a stint on reserve/PUP possible to begin the year. Apr 24
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
