Shanahan Says Redskins Want Westbrook, Have Made An Offer

If there was any doubt Clinton Portis would be the Redskins starting running back heading into the season, Kyle Shanahan ended the speculation confirming Portis' role as the starter.

However, news on another aging running back is what we've been waiting. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan says there is no update on Brian Westbrook and possibly employment with the Redskins.

Shanahan did say that the Redskins have made him an offer.

A decision by Westbrook is expected "soon", according to reports. He's 30 years old and likely not interested in attending a lot of voluntary offseason work so delaying an announcement until after OTAs would be possible.

The Rams are the other team reportedly interested in his services.

Westbrook was released by the Eagles in March. Since then, he's visited the Rams, Redskins and Broncos. Reports have suggested the Broncos aren't serious contenders for him.
