I really love how people make ridiculous claims like "there are a lot of better younger options than Larry Johnson" (like this guy is a nobody in the league) but can't name a single one. It is easy to second guess every move and never offer a solution. |

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Big IF!
And IF his fists stay away from any woman. Right now the move seems very questionable.

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Reading is a Good Thing People!
Ok, for the whiners and complainers out there, we got LJ basically for nothing. The base salary for the 3 years is 3.5 million, I think the guaranteed money is 1.5 mil? The 12 million comes from incentives and whatnot I'm starting to believe that BA knows how to work out contracts. While I wanted Willie Parker, being only a season removed from being the #1 guy on a good team, I'm sure WP would have wanted a heck of a lot more money. LT left SD because of money, and that's what he's looking for. Also, I'm sure these two guys may be looking to be the feature back wherever they land. As far as LJ's off the field issues, well this is where I trust Shanahan as a disciplinarian. (And Lord knows we need one on this team). But I also see this as LJ's 2nd chance to show that he's not done or that his off the field issues are a thing of the past. I am glad we are heading towards a multiple RB system. A lot of the successful teams are doing this, and I'm glad we seem to be headed that way. And for the young/hungry player fans out there, I'm sure we're drafting a RB in April. Hopefully we'll land our next Shonn Green or Tashard Choice.

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
I hope we draft a back. Larry probably still has some juice in the tank, but we should have maybe waited to see if a younger FA RB would have been available.

I listed their respective career numbers on pg. 4. The columns are slightly off, but Portis and LT are waaaay ahead of LJ in every category. Games, number of carries, yards, TDs, you name it. This was a good signing if you ask me. |

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
I doubt Portis is going anywhere. Why sign two FA running backs if you are going to draft someone? I mean Larry is a monster when he is on top of his game, but he is a short termer for sure. I only wonder if he is only going to be used for short yardage situations or is he actually going to split carries with Clinton. I guess it all comes down to what their plans are for Portis. I was hoping they would draft a kid and groom him to eventually take over for Portis. But you are right they could sign another FA if need be. Was Portis the only RB spared from the cuts?

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
That's a lot of ink on that backfield!!
I didn't know LJ's father played for the Redskins back in 1974. I remember after he signed with Cincy last year (after being cut by KC) he was interviewed by Dan Patrick on his show and I was very impressed with him, he was very articulate and seemed very bright. Hard to believe after all the shit he pulled in KC. Maybe he has matured and will surprise us fans.

Re: Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Both of these backs in a split role could be a very good duo imo, lets see how it plays out.
