Clinton Portis wants a pay raise???

Redskins Roundup: Clinton Portis wants more money! « DC Pro Sports Report

I really hope Portis is joking in this article, but with what he said about playing in Denver, i'm not so sure...

“I played for pennies in Denver and I would be considered awesome,” he said. “I gave everything I had in Washington and was supposedly overpaid and the last two years, when I’ve been on IR it’s like he’s overpaid and don’t deserve it. There’s plenty of people around the NFL whose stats don’t come close, who making the same kind of money as I’m making. So that’s up to them. I can’t sit here and say, ‘Oooh, I want to take a pay cut.’

Then he laughed and said: “I really want a pay raise, to be honest. That’s up to them.”

I really want to know who the other players whose stats "didn't come close". Except in 2008, where he got off to a good start before falling apart, He has played like trash in 2009 and 2010. I want to know who he seriously thinks he is better than.

What has he even done here in the last 3 years to suggest we over pay this guy again? I have nothing against him anymore, but i really hope we move on from this guy. No good things can come from keeping him on the team. The Shanahans are all supposedly about new blood and modest contracts. Keeping Portis and Paying him more money is counterproductive...thoughts???

Yet another article taking things out of context.

I think that's just CP being CP, not a demand/request for more money.

I think unless he takes a pay cut, he's gotta be done here.

Portis is a bag of sticks waiting to be snapped.
He's a buffoon......cut him.

Out of context

Nothing to get crazy about.

Pretty much what most of us would say; who doesn't want more $$?

That said the only way he's back here is with a reduced salary, that's just the reality of it.

Agreed Matt. I would take Portis and Moss back at reduced salaries

how much $ is moss supposed to make next season? portis is supposed to make 8 mil. and that is way too much.

Portis is making waves to ease his exit, or is totally joking. I think he knows he is toast and is just making damn sure he leaves.

GusFrerotte · 12-31-2010, 02:41 PM

Portis was used up under Gibbs II , and with Torain and Williams we have a nice tandem to rely on. Bringing in a drafted RB only will make Clinton more expendable.

rbanerjee23 · 12-31-2010, 02:52 PM

Yeah, Portis is done, if he really wants a pay rise, I say get rid of him. No point having a cancer in the locker room

A guy asking for a raise is a cancer?
