Portis restructures too

hahaha I wouldn't mind getting him but I was just answering the comment we all have players of other teams that we wouldn't mind seeing in ours or yours

You wouldn't mind getting him in your bed or on your roster? jk

dboyz,you going brokeback on us?

Nope sorry Arrignton won't get nothing if he gets release from Washington he would count in the cap for more than 10 mill either if he stays or goes if he gets release LA. wil lget money and will be more via FA.

reread the post please. if arrington makes himself cheaper for 2006 for danny, he'll make more money overall by sticking around in DC. no one is going to give him anything like the crazy contract he currently has. by the time he'd be released the market will have dried up and there won't be money left for him from other clubs.

he'd be released march 31st if at all, a full month into free agency after everyone's budget is maxed out.

Interesting update from profootballtalk.com on Portis' new deal, particularly the part about him being a free agent earlier.

PORTIS GETS MORE MONEY, SHORTER DEAL

We reported on Wednesday that the Redskins were in the process of restructuring the contract of running back Clinton Portis by converting a roster bonus to a guaranteed payment, spreading out the cap charge over multiple years.

With the prospects of an extended CBA less and less likely, and with the Redskins poised to make massive cuts before the start of the 2006 league year, a league source tells us that the Redskins and Portis have reached a tentative agreement on a sweeping restructuring that: (1) pushes money from future years forward; (2) contains more than $1.5 million in guaranteed salary in 2007; (3) pays him $300,000 more through 2008 that his prior contract would have; and (4) expires three seasons earlier, making him eligible for unrestricted free agency in 2009 at the age of 27.

The agreement is contingent upon an extension to the CBA not being reached.

Under the new deal, Portis gets a $1.99 million roster bonus in 2006 and a salary of $545,000. He receives an option bonus of $8.2515 million in 2007, which includes a non-exercise penalty. He also receives $1.517 million in guaranteed salary and $545,000 in non-guaranteed salary.

The guarantee includes a provision exempting him from the standard offset principle, which reduces any money he earns from another team if he is released prior to 2007. If the 'Skins cut him before the 2007 season, he pockets the full $1.517 million regardless of what he earns elsewhere.

In 2008, he receives an option bonus in the amount of $1.517 million, with a non-exercise provision requiring the team to pay him that same amount. He also gets a base salary of $545,000.

Due to the 30 percent rule, the new deal expires after the 2008 season, allowing Portis to hit the open market in 2009.

We're not sure how much cap room this new deal creates, but it's undoubtedly a short-term benefit for the Redskins, since to get it done they're giving Portis more money and tying him up for three less years.

If it's true, I'm happy and disappointed. I'm happy because we'll save cap space this year. I'm upset because it means opens up the possibility that he'll leave in a few seasons. I want to see him retire here.

well they better resign portis after that contract runs out...i hope they only made it shorter because of the 30% rule...if he wants his salary to go up a lot after 2008

crazy they built that into portis's contract.
