Redskins coach Jim Zorn did not rule out the possibility of the Redskins pursuing Larry Johnson. He said the team has had internal discussions this morning and will continue to talk about the troubled running back. Zorn said the team will likely sign a running back if Clinton Portis can't play -- he specifically mention Quinton Ganther, whom the team released last Friday. As for Johnson, "I don't know," Zorn said. "I need to have a longer conversation than I've had to make a decision," Zorn said.

And the downward spiral continues.

The Redskins need an offense. But a 29 year old Larry Johnson is not the answer... especially not for the fat contract Dan Snyder would toss at him.

I believe Al Davis has used some kinda Voodoo to move his spirit from his decayed corpse into the body of Dan Synder.

A player who uses sexual slurs going to a team with a racist nickname.... coincidence?

November 10, 2009  06:57 AM ET

Because the Skins need this kind of drama in their locker room right now?

The Johnson cut I believe was also bow because he was about to become the leading rushing in Chief's history. No desire to have a malcontent become your leading all time rusher.

Lord have mercy....

November 10, 2009  07:01 AM ET

And the nerve of Zorn to ack like this is his decision....

Pathetic.

November 10, 2009  07:01 AM ET

Bring him on... This will go ahead and blow up an organization and a lockeroom.

Stupid ass Redskins.

With the way Portis is getting banged up, maybe the only purpose of signing LJ is to see him get hurt. I would watch that.

November 10, 2009  07:05 AM ET

I had to go away and come back and see if this was really real....

lol - like its Zorn's decision to make. Next he's going to say he needs to have further discussions as to whether or not to fire the head coach

Funny you brought this up. I often think of Snyder as Al's illegitimate child.

Hilarity! I guess it was going to be the Skins or Oakland. Sorry, Chico.

We suck soooo bad.

It is what it is man.....DAMN!

So another over-the-hill malcontent is headed for the 'Skins? Shocking. He definitely fits the team profile, but there's just one problem: KC already released LJ. Cerrato won't be able to give them a first round pick for him.

I think I'll curl up under my desk until the season is over. There's always next year.

would seem to be a fit for danny's wallet. LJ is almost guaranteed to under perform for what danny pays too. sounds like a possible skin signing.

Based on the decisions the Skins have been making, I am surprised a lot of us did no see this coming.
