The former football star of Washington Redskins fame reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 5 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Florida after falling into a debt of over $2.5 million. Portis’ bankruptcy filing halted the foreclosure process of the 7,000 sq. ft. home he built for his mother in Montheocha. The home had a $920,000 unpaid loan, which was believed to be a major factor in Portis’ decision to file for bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy papers revealed that Portis has listed his assets ranging from $1 million to $10 million; however, he did not include a detailed list of his assets.
