PORTIS TO PAY CASINO DEBT

N.J.» Former ATLANTIC CITY,

Broncos running back Clinton Portis reached an agreement to repay $190,000 he owes to a New Jersey casino.

The former NFL star was given $200,000 in credit in 2011 to gamble at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City. He didn’t have sufficient funds, however, to cover the debt, and six checks he signed to the casino bounced.

Portis retired in 2012 after rushing for just under 10,000 yards and scoring 75 touchdowns between 2002 and 2010.

Under a deal reached in Florida bankruptcy court, Portis will pay the Borgata 10 percent of any income he receives above $30,000 through August 2021.

RG3 headed to Ravens.

MD.» The OWINGS MILLS,

Ravens reached a oneyear agreement with former Redskins and Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III, providing an experienced backup to starter Joe Flacco.

The Ravens initially brought in Griffin to throw to free-agent receivers during a tryout last week and were impressed with his workout.

After Griffin took a visit to another team, Baltimore then struck a deal with the former Heisman Trophy winner.
