Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson

Yeah, I would caution against us potentially picking up LJ as just another Snyder high-priced free agent signing or as another sign that things will never change at Redskins Park. Under the circumstance, I could understand us signing, I would imagine, a healthy Larry Johnson.

I'm willing to bet, he'd be much better than Shawn Alexander too.

No no no...please let this not be true, this season is a waste already, don't blow any more resources.

It is my understanding that the Redskins wouldn't have to pay him or wouldn't have to pay him much if he's picked up.

pats are looking at him, I would rather have a bad team like us to have him than a good team like NE having him.

Mistake, excessive baggage, price tag, despite the latter never seming to be a problem here.

It is my understanding that the Redskins wouldn't have to pay him or wouldn't have to pay him much if he's picked up.
If a team picks LJ up off the waiver wire (which means before 4 PM eastern time on 11/10), then that acquiring team also picks up his moneies owed. And LJ is carrying a 2.1Mill price tag right now.

The "Waiver Wire" is done in the order of the draft, each team gets a chance in that order to pick him up.

If no team picks him up off the wire (before 4PM EST), then he becomes and unrestricted free agent and can be signed by any team, but, the contract negotiations start all over and he looses that 2.1 mill.

If we were in the playoff race, it would be a good signing.

Is Mason available? (surely this discussion hasn't gone this long without someone asking the ultimate question ;))

No, he was mentioned before in the thread, and yes, he's available.

you're right, given Rock's limitations & Portis being out.

Mason's gotta be tired of the Skins guiding him around by his nuts. I mean, it is money, but does he really wanna get back on the Skins bandwagon after they've repeatedly cut him?
