Re: Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson
It doesnt surprise me now that the talk has simmered down.
I remember when we picked up Shaun Alexander last season. Portis wasn't very nice to him and you could tell that there was alot of animosity. I got the feeling from listening to him talk that CP was jealous of Alexander for what he had done early in his career.
But i see him being the same way about Larry Johnson. He'd take it personal that they'd bring in a guy that is just as good, maybe better than him at this point in his career.
This is different tho because Larry Johnson isn't a backup RB. If we brought him in now, there is a good chance we keep him next season. And with all the stuff about Portis' decline and the uncapped off-season, i think it creates too much of a locker room drama. I could totally see Portis going to Dan Snyder and giving him hell about bringing in another marquee back...
