If he is producing any negatives he brings are outweighed. It's not a complicated equation.
That's because Johnson physically wasn't the same after those years. Even than he had off field issues. But teams overlook those if the guy is playing at a pro bowl level. We're 5 years removed from those days at the position where age creeps up on you faster than any other in team sports. Not to mention some guys will never be able to adapt to that lesser role after being the man. LT can do it Marcus Allen could do it. Larry Johnson can't. dolphins should have stayed clear of this goof.
