| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson Why would we sign another old RB? RB's are OLD once they hit 29-30. This brings NO value, alienates Betts and continues to destroy our team spirit. Bring back Aldrige or Mason for heaven's sake. You spend on high priced vets when you have a shot to go deep into playoffs. We have NO shot at that, I'd rather develop young talent and spend less. I saw Portis after game yesterday taking pictures with the crowd. He seemed fine to me. I bet he only misses one game as a precaution. |

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson Quote:
If LJ is signed, there is no waste at all. Any player that is one the roster for week 1 of the regular season, then, the team is on the hook for his salary for the entire regular season. Even if he is released in week 2, he still gets the salary for the whole year. However, any player signed AFTER week 1 is in the books, then if released you dont own him squat. So if a team brings in LJ for the remainder of this season and allows him to prove himself before signing him to a longer deal, there is little risk and high reward if he pans out. | |

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson What I dont understand is we have RB depth already, Betts. Im not a huge fan of him, but why do we always look for something better when what we got is suffecient. Remember the Jason Taylor debacle? I hope we dont do this. Culture change is needed, knee-jerk decisions by Snyder and Vinny have not worked in Snyder's miserable ownership era. |

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson I think SS is on vacation. It might be an ESPN-mandated "work vacation" though. Those aren't nearly as fun.

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson Is it a paid vacation though? Here at UMD we're forced to take unpaid leave (a.k.a. furloughs).

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson Yeah, I would caution against us potentially picking up LJ as just another Snyder high-priced free agent signing or as another sign that things will never change at Redskins Park. Under the circumstance, I could understand us signing, I would imagine, a healthy Larry Johnson. I'm willing to bet, he'd be much better than Shawn Alexander too. |

| Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson It is my understanding that the Redskins wouldn't have to pay him or wouldn't have to pay him much if he's picked up.
