Redskins Sign Larry Johnson

[Ruhskins]

I still don't understand how signing LJ for practically nothing is a pointless signing. The guy obviously showed something when he was given an opportunity in Cincy, and his contract is full of performance based rewards (something apparently the critics of this signing have failed to notice). Bottom line is that if he does well he gets paid, if he doesn't he sees no money; and he's being asked to share the load with CP and whatever 3rd RB we end up having (Alridge or a rook). I highly doubt that Thomas Jones, LT, or Chester Taylor would have agreed to such signing.
