The Redskins are "very much interested" in signing free agent Larry Johnson, according to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora.
The team's brass was scheduled to pick up L.J. from the airport Thursday afternoon for a wine-and-dine session. Even with Clinton Portis cleared for football activities this week, Johnson appears to be a high priority. Though he's less of an injury risk, Johnson wouldn't offer the Redskins anything they don't already have in Portis, an aging running back with lifeless legs. Rotoworld

Redskins agreed to terms with RB Larry Johnson on a three-year contract with a max value of $12 million.
Just when you thought the Redskins would make it through the offseason without a head-scratching move. L.J., 30, managed just 3.2 yards per carry last year and has very little burst left entering his age-31 season. We're not ruling out the possibility of Johnson succeeding in Mike Shanahan's zone-blocking system (Reuben Droughns did it), but it isn't likely. He'll compete for carries with Clinton Portis, Anthony Alridge, and most likely a draft pick. Rotoworld

Portis and LJ have no juice left and they won't have any holes to run through.Birdie048 wrote:NFL Network Total Access made the statement that this was a big deal to WAS.... and that they expected LJ to be the "bellcow" sometime early this season. The $$ is more than vet min, but not clear starter $$.
I like him there over Phi. I wonder if the OL will give him any holes...
