Redskins tailback Clinton Portis on Monday agreed to pay former Washington safety Ifeanyi Ohalete $18,000 of the $20,000 that the latter claimed he was owed for giving uniform No. 26 to Portis a year ago. The settlement brought the tab in the case, not including attorneys fees, to $38,000. According to the agreement between the players, Portis had agreed to pay Ohalete $40,000 for the uniform number, and had already shelled out $20,000. The remaining $20,000 was in question until Monday, with the players scheduled for a Tuesday session in a Maryland courtroom. "It took just a matter of hours and most of that time was spent trying to reach our clients," Steren said. "I think both players are glad to put this behind them. They can get on with their business now. I think they've got bigger things to move on to."
