It's official. LJ is a Redskin...3-year deal worth a max of $12 million ($3.5 million guaranteed). Most fans will balk at this given his past, but let's take a step back. Like DeAngelo Hall, LJ is from the DC area and has love for the Redskins. From the Bog:
Johnson was born in D.C. and raised in Pomfret Waldorf, and he told Houlon that he was more of an Orioles fan than a Bullets fan as a kid. But yeah, you can probably guess what football team he supported.
"It's funny, the first baby outfit I ever was put in was a Redskins outfit," [Johnson] said. "And that's all we watched, was Redskins and Cowboys in our house, so I grew up a Redskins fan."
Larry did OK in Cincy last year averaging 4.4 yards a carry and with age comes maturity. I personally think LJ will be a good addition when if Portis gets injured and to complement whatever young RB Shanny drafts. It's all part of the plan. If Jim Zorn was the disciplinary then we would all have problems...in short, it's pretty much impossible for me to criticize Shanahan at this point.
