Washington Redskins release Clinton Portis

It's an end of an era in Washington as the Redskins released running back Clinton Portis today.

Portis, who will turn 30 in September, has been plagued by injuries the past couple of seasons. Portis missed 11 games in 2010 and eight games in 2009 due to various injuries.

Portis is just 77 yards shy of 10,000 yards during his career, which would make him only the 26th back in league history to reach that mark.

The Redskins will look to Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams to carry the load at running back now.

Portis was set to make a $5.4 million roster bonus this offseason.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice to test free agent market

The Minnesota Vikings may have a big hole to fill if Sidney Rice leaves, which according his agent may happen. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Drew Rosenhaus, Rice's agent, said the receiver will not sign a deal with the Vikings prior to free agency.

Rosenhaus did leave the option open for Rice returning to Vikings, but said his client wants to test the free agent market.

Rice missed ten games in 2010 after having hip surgery in August. He managed just 17 catches for 280 yards and two touchdowns last season. Rice has missed 16 games due to injury in his four-year career.

Rice, who turns 25 in September, had a breakout season in 2009, catching 83 balls for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns.
