Former Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis was released earlier this year. Now his desire is to play for the New York Giants and get payback twice a year against the Redskins.
“To go to the Giants and get to play the Redskins twice a year after them feeling I wasn’t capable any more, I think that would be outstanding,” said Portis.
Portis likes the Giants strong offensive line and run oriented offensive system. He would also be open to playing for any other team in the NFC East as well. Portis does agree that it was time for him to leave Washington.
“I think for the situation that was going on in Washington for myself it was time to vacate,” he said. “The organization was going in a different direction and I really think that Coach Shanahan is going to get the organization back on track and back to winning ways, which is what the people in Washington want to see.”
I’m not sure how much Portis has left in his tank but I don’t believe it’s much. I don’t see Portis fitting in with any other NFC East team at the moment. Since the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys are pretty set at running back.
