Clinton Portis Open to Restructuring Contract to Stay a Redskin

Redskins running back Clinton Portis said after the loss to Seattle that he is open to hrestructuring his contract to stay in Washington:
"Man, I'd love to be back here," Portis said. "I love my teammates and love the organization, but that's on them. I feel like I'll be here, but if it don't work out you can't hold your head down about it. I gave and left everything I had on the field, and it's up to them to make that decision. It's on them. I don't know what they're going to do, and right now I'm under contract with the Washington Redskins for the next four years. That's where I plan to be."

Portis is expected to count $8.4M towards the 2008 salary cap. However, owner Daniel Snyder doesn't mind changing contracts and hooking players up with more money up front and the bonuses spread out over multiple years. Snyder will most likely do the same thing with guys like Santana Moss, Shawn Springs, Marcus Washington, Chris Samuels and Jon Jansen.
