Larry Johnson Signs With The Redskins

PrintGuess who's got a new job:
There's a new running back in Washington. Redskins reached agreement with RB Larry Johnson on a three-year deal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter (who else?) is reporting.
I'd be very curious to see the terms of his contract because I highly doubt he makes it three years (or even one for that matter).
It's not much of a surprise he signed with the Redskins.
For LJ, that's likely where he wanted to be. He grew up in the area as a fan of the team and it puts him closer to his family.
From the Redskins perspective, the last time Mike Shanahan saw LJ he was tearing it up against him with the Chiefs. You do have to give LJ credit for what he did against the Broncos in those years because he was awfully good.
The Chiefs don't play the Redskins for another four years so it's unlikely they'll see LJ in uniform (Unless it's the Super Bowl!).

hahah, suckers!
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
In all due respect...
can we make this the last post we ever see with his name or mention of him again on AP?
Please?

well...if hes cut or whatnot that would be newsworthy
Scott Pioli will find a way to make NT the biggest offseason priority.

it comes to a point where
we simply just dont care.

I thought
Shanny was smart! This is a terrible move! Him and Portis in the same locker room. Trouble.

Just when I think
Daniel Snyder cant look any more foolish, he goes and proves me wrong. He’s threatening entering Al Davis territory.
The studs from the 2010 draft class will be: DT Ndamukong Suh, S Eric Berry, RB C.J. Spiller, RB Jahvid Best, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Golden Tate, WR Mardy Gilyard, OT Charles Brown, CB Kyle Wilson and S Chad Jones
Shanny's first year in Washington
is gonna be interesting to say the least. I hope he falls on his rat face.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Meh. Oh well. I would have preferred he went to OAK.
And he thought OUR line was bad. Dude’s in for a rude awakening.

hey! at least they have sean ryan as their blocking tight end according to fans :P

wow shanny...wow. have fun with 2.7...there has not been one coach yet that understands him

I think Vermeil understood him perfectly
He’s a whiny baby who needs to “take the diapers off.”
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
You know, I wonder if
he would’ve had the success he did in ‘05 if Vermeil hadn’t called him out? I don’t think so. I think that’s what motivated him. I agree, Vermeil knew his character and called him on it.
Yep, LJ ran angry that season
He wanted to prove he belonged in the NFL and that Vermeil was wrong about him (I wonder how that turned out)

skins take LJ AND Sean Ryan...
any chance they sign bobby wade?

Probably not
Wade wasnt on the Chiefs yet when we beat the Redskins…but Mark Bradley could be another story.

That's exactly it
“at times”…I liked him more than Wade because he could at least find the end zone, but catching the ball anywhere near midfield appeared to be a problem for him.

Yep, that and the whole "signaling first down when he catches the ball right at the line of scrimmage" thing
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
Ah jeez
I forgot all about that one…but at least it’s not planted in my brain like Samie Parker dancing after a last minute touchdown in a blowout loss at Denver…F’n idiot!

Joel
The only thing ill give LJ credit for is finally allowing us to see how much better off we are without him. As for the years LJ tore it up agains the Donks, Ill give credit to our Oline.
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
I do have to say however,
if he wants to be the next Priest and LJ as he put it with Portis, does that mean he puts his diapers back on?

LJs contract 3 years 3.5M total with up to 12M in incentives.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
err awkward wording

It’s hard to argue with too many moves The Rat makes on the offesnive side of the ball. I think LJ goes for over 1000 this year.
The fans over at "Hogs Haven" dont sound overly excited though.

Time to take off the diapers yet LJ ?
Here’s some talk on the LJ deal
http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/11990/does-larry-johnson-have-anything-left
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
