Portis Agrees to $51M Deal With Redskins

[skinsfanthru&thru]

as far as freeing up cap room, does anyone know if any progress has been made for getting samuels to restructure his contract or his his agent still saying nothing's changing until ramsey is traded? we need to free up atleast 4-5 million from his 8+ million dollor cap figure this year. I think we honestly won't have to pay Kearse an extrodinary amount of money and I think some people are not really seeing how much he wants to play for Williams again. I mean he was talking about signing with him before this past season began and I think that bargaining chip will help out immensely. and if that fails winstrom is cheaper and only a slightly lower grade of talent, leaving cap room to sign some of the underrated tackles like coleman and smith. and anyone making the comparisions to portis' and davis' contract a few years ago need to remember that davis' was only one year longer but over 40 million more in the contract. and that was when davis was in his late 20's if I remember right. the cap figures will probably be nowhere similar and like it was said on here before, because he was given this contract when it didn't need to be done should show Portis he is wanted by the organization and might be more open to redoing his contract down the road if need be.
