Dolphins Sign Free Agent RB Larry Johnson

Discussion in 'Miami Dolphins' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 23, 2011.

  1. Veteran running back Larry Johnson signed with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday after sitting out most of last season. Johnson gained 2 yards on five carries in two games before he was released by the Washington Redskins last September. He has career rushing totals of 6,221 yards and 55 scores, but has played in just 16 games in the past three seasons. With the addition of the 31-year-old Johnson, the Dolphins hope to improve their depth behind Reggie Bush and rookie Daniel Thomas. The team waived running back Kory Sheets, who missed all of last season with an Achilles tendon injury.

    I would expect Portis to get signed somewhere before Barber too.
     
  4. Portis reportedly was out of shape in his tryout with New England........

    But I still agree with you.

    I think someone'd dig up Walter Payton's corpse, and try to make it play for them, before they'd sign Tiki

    Just when I thought the Phins might be looking somewhat decent for the season they go out and make a move like this. WTF?

    Can't be any worse then Bush. I have a feeling Glen Coffee will come out of retirement and sign with a team before Tiki.
