The Rams are scheduled to meet with free agent RB Larry Johnson’s representatives today. They scheduled the meeting before Steven Jackson’s injury in week 3 against the Redskins. Jackson’s injury or no, the Rams should say no to Larry Johnson.
Johnson is a toxic asset for any locker room. He is a terrible person, he wouldn’t even have one of Coach Spagnuolo’s four pillars. He’s gotten in trouble with the law for smashing glasses on alcohol in people’s faces. He’s a terrible running back on the field and he has talked and played himself out of two NFL teams in the past two seasons.
Obviously a meeting does not mean much, as ESPN has a way of blowing things out of proportion, especially when it includes a “big” name. The Rams should do the right thing and make sure Larry Johnson’s agent leaves town without so much as a contract offer.
