Washington cut ties with running back Clinton Portis and Chicago released defensive tackle Tommie Harris.

Portis and Harris would be available to sign as free agents immediately since they were released and didn’t become free agents by playing out their contracts. But the window of opportunity could be very limited. If a labor lockout starts Saturday, as many expect, Portis and Harris would join the other 500 or so potential free agents in a situation where all signings would be frozen until there is a new labor agreement.

It’s been announced that, unsurprisingly, the Redskins plan to release RB Clinton Portis because he’s overpaid ($8 million next season) and often injured (he’s only played in 13 games over the past two seasons). I was wondering if he’d be a possible replacement for RB Brandon Jackson with the Green Bay Packers. He’d be an upgrade, if healthy, but that’s a big if.

As well as “Dolla Bill” and “Sheriff Gonna Getcha.” Clinton Portis was released by the Washington Redskins on Monday, ending a charismatic and sometimes contentious seven-year stay that, for a while at least, made him the face of the franchise.

Last week Portis told WJFK radio: If it’s time to move on, I’ll do that. I’m appreciative of everything they’ve done for me.

Portis added that he’s given everything he’s had to the city of Washington and there is “nothing left for me to prove.” Portis also admitted that things were never the same for him after the death of teammate Sean Taylor, a fellow University of Miami alum and Portis’ closest friend.
