The Patriots continued their research in evaluating seemingly everyone available in the free agent market, working out another marquee name today. Former Redskins running back Clinton Portis was in for a workout with the Patriots. The 29-year-old starred for the Broncos and most recently played for the Redskins. The 5-foot-11, 218-pounder has six 1,000-yard-plus seasons under his belt, but none since 2008. In fact, he gained just 227 yards on 54 carries last year, generating little free agent interest.
