Larry Johnson can't. dolphins should have stayed clear of this goof.

And that's what I'm saying, if he plays well the off field isn't an issue. If he doesn't the guy is a third stringer with no sway in the locker room, assuming he's not cut outright. I don't think he'll perform, and I don't think it's a good signing, but the negative aspect is being dramatically over stated.
