The Facts:
The Redskins have a problem. And its name is Portis. ... Multiple sources have advised us that Portis shows little or no respect to HC Jim Zorn, and that the situation bubbled over at least once during the team’s OTA sessions, with Portis telling the coach off in front of other players. Said one source: “Portis totally has no regard for [Zorn] and thinks he’s above everyone.”

So where does Portis' comfort level come from? As former Redskin John Riggins explained in January: "To a certain extent Clinton Portis has the team over a barrel from my understanding of the amount of money that he’s owed, guaranteed money that becomes really cost-prohibitive to get rid of him over a [salary] cap issue. ..." Another reason? According to Florio's source, "Dan [Snyder] has created this sense of entitlement over the years by confiding in him about team issues and considering him a ‘friend. ...’” While this development wouldn't keep me from drating Portis, it will be worth watching the situation to see if he becomes increasingly disruptive.
