According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are in the market for a backup RB to help Chris Johnson. He says that they worked out former good running back Larry Johnson today. “RB Larry Johnson worked out for the Titans today. Could be signed to fill LenDale White’s old role. Looking [...]
We knew that Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis was banged up. But, we didn’t think it was this bad. Portis has been battling a groin injury and it looks like it’s going to keep him out a bit. Mike Shanahan on Wednesday said that the running back will be out 4-6 weeks. He didn’t talk [...]
Jason Reid of the Washington Post says that a source told him during the offseason that the Washington Redskins had concerns about their running back depth behind Clinton Portis. You are probably thinking, “yeah, duh. That’s why they signed Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.” No, this was after they had already signed those two.
Over the last few years we’ve watched Fast Willie Parker turn into Running On The Beach Willie Parker. His burst seems to be gone as injuries may have just taken their toll. In Washington, he is one of 37 running backs on the roster and it will be tough for him to get any significant [...]
The Washington Redskins seem to think that Super Bowls are won by signing a ton of cooked RB’s. We can’t really blame them, since they’ve won Super Bowls with the likes of Timmy Smith and George Rogers. Smith wasn’t cooked, but he was never really even prepped for the frying pan. He wasn’t passed his [...]
If the goal in the NFL was to have the most past-their-prime RB’s in the backfield at one time, then the Washington Redskins will win the Super Bowl. According to Adam Schefter, the Redskins have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Willie Parker to a one-year deal. Schefter says the deal is worth a maximum of [...]
The Washington Redskins almost did it. They almost went through an entire offseason without signing some big name who can’t really play anymore. But, according to Adam Schefter, they signed free agent Larry Johnson to a three-year contract today, so they’ve kept their streak alive. “Filed to ESPN: There’s a new running back in Washington. [...]
According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, former Kansas City Chief and Cincinnati Bengal RB Larry Johnson is scheduled to meet with the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders this week. “RB Larry Johnson has visits planned to Skins and Raiders this week. More on NFL..com and NFL Network. About to do a chat on NFL.com,” [...]
According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals are not expected to bring back RB Larry Johnson, who is now a free agent. Johnson is 30 and has attitude problems so he probably won’t draw a ton of interest on the free-agent market. Remember when he was a fantasy football machine? As Buckwheat [...]
In a move that we don’t really understand unless Cedric Benson is really banged up with a hip injury, a league source tells PFT that the Bengals have completed a deal with Larry Johnson. The terms haven’t been made available, but he should be able to keep his remaining $4.55 million from the Chiefs for [...]
Despite reports from NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora (who generally does a good job) implying that Larry Johnson to the Houston Texans was all but a done deal, the whiny, spitty RB apparently won’t be headed to the 713. “We took all the factors into consideration — football, off-the-field issues, and we determined that it [...]
Larry Johnson has cleared waivers. Every single NFL team had a chance to put in a claim and grab the obnoxious, past-his-prime running back, and no one did. This means that he is now a free agent and can sign with any team for whatever amount of money that he and the team agree on. [...]
Kawika Mitchell and Larry Johnson were drafted in the same year (2003) by the Kansas City Chiefs. So they were in the same draft class and were teammates for four years. Mitchell, now on injured reserve with the Buffalo Bills, apparently doesn’t think too highly of Larry these days, and because he’s done for the [...]
Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs have had enough of Larry Johnson’s poor production and off-the-field behavior. They have decided to cut ties with him and be done with it. Their press release says: “The Kansas City Chiefs released RB Larry Johnson on Monday. In 75 games (55 starts) with Kansas City, Johnson rushed 1,375 times [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs and running back Larry Johnson reached an agreement to avoid any type of hearing. Johnson will still be suspended for two weeks, but will only lose one week’s worth of pay. This was first reported on Chris Mortenson’s little twitter page. Let’s review what Larry Johnson did to be suspended. It [...]
Thanks to our friends at TMZ for tipping us off on this one. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) wants the NFL to punish Larry Johnson for his use of a homophobic slur not once, but twice, in the last 24 hours. He used the word “fag” in a tweet and then used [...]
After getting lambasted by the San Diego Chargers 37-7 (at least they scored?), Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson decided to go off on the team’s coaching staff, which we are sure means head coach Todd Haley. “My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches,” Johnson tweeted. “Google my father!!!!!!!” (His pops [...]
Have you seen the new Coors Light commercials with Herm Edwards? We figured this would be a good time to show Larry Johnson’s impersonation of Herm:
