Portis restructures too

Apparently Springs has restructured too.

As long as Portis stays on the roids....we're good.

Here's some details about Portis' contract from ProFootballTalk.com:

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.

The deal also includes specific language exempting Portis from any duty to refund bonus money if there is a work stoppage. On Wednesday, we explained that, absent such protections, players might face claims that a work stoppage equates to a default, requiring the players to pay back bonus money pursuant to the specific terms of their contracts.

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.

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.

Not exactly because his base salary for this year is like 500 and he has a roster bonus of 6.5 if I'm correct so he would be making 7mill staying in your team even though he will count 12.5 into the cap because of his signing bonus.

Teams like Arizona, Cleveland and Minnesota that are 20mill under the cap could offer him a 5 to 6 year deal with a 9 - 10 signing bonus. And for a guy of his age and talent it won't be hard to find a new home and he would be making 3 more mill that he would here.

Hey D'Boyz

That is too bad that you are losing Larry Allen. He was the most dominant player at his position in your history.

How are the Girlz going to replace Glover? He has been the lynchpin of your D since he got there.

And you are wrong on lavar. If they cut him later they save either 5 or 7 million on this years cap (I think it is 7). Maybe LaRoi will be crushing Bledsoe next year! Ha ha ha ha

why would they do that? peterson is just as good and he's already free and all the FAs are going to make peanuts this offseason due to the player flood. in there's no cba, the viking will NOT be a high spending team, nor will arizona. cleveland might be. If lavar stays, and the cap dies, he can get the full contract. if he resigns elsewhere (which he said a million times he doesn't want to do) the first years are going to be crap money, whereass here, he'll start to hit the backkload as the salary cap goes away.

no they wont. not unless there's a new cba.

I heard on the local DC news that the team is talking to Lavar about restructuring

Not to hijack the thread, but....

How can PFT have any credibility when the MODS on their board engage in some pretty ugly, vile and ignorant racist BS on a regular basis.
